Interact with the testnet 

Since wallet providers don't support yet EIP-1559 style transactions, we have implemented a toolbox to interact with the testnet and submit new format transactions.
Users would still be able to submit legacy transactions using traditional wallets such as Metamask.
The tool can be installed locally. Follow instructions here.
An online version is available Online Toolbox.

Warning: Use only test private keys.
