Bubs Testnet, a new initiative by Caldera in collaboration with Celestia Labs, introduces an EVM-compatible execution layer called OP Stack and Celestia. It aims to offer developers a dedicated platform to deploy their EVM applications. This testnet provides an environment for developers to test and refine their applications on an EVM-compatible infrastructure.

Conclusion
Bubs Testnet offers developers a robust environment to thoroughly test their Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) applications. With its EVM-compatible execution layer, it provides an ideal platform for developers seeking to build and test applications that closely resemble an OP Stack rollup on Celestia. By leveraging this testnet, developers can refine their applications and ensure their compatibility with the EVM ecosystem. Regularly check the website for any additional tasks.
