# Testnet Access

OLTA provides an open-access **testnet environment** that mirrors the mainnet functionality. This allows developers, auditors, and institutional partners to test interactions without risking real capital.

The testnet is designed for early exploration, debugging, integration testing, and education.

* IRT minting and simulated NAV updates
* Redemption mechanics with synthetic asset flows
* Oracle simulation for TWAP/VWAP pricing
* Fund-level rebalancing logic
* Wallet interaction (MetaMask, WalletConnect)
* Developer-friendly API endpoints

#### Who Can Use It

* **Security auditors** reviewing contract logic in action
* **Institutions** evaluating OLTA’s structured index model before allocation
* **Community contributors** experimenting with governance modules or proposals
