# Alpha Testnet User Guide

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Scroll Alpha Testnet is now deprecated.**

Please visit our new documentation for the Scroll Sepolia Testnet at <https://docs.scroll.io/>
{% endhint %}

### Welcome to Scroll's Alpha Testnet!

Thank you for testing out our Alpha Testnet. If you have questions or want to give feedback, join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/scroll)!

The Alpha Testnet consists of *Ethereum's* *Goerli Testnet* and the *Scroll Alpha* test network. Goerli is an Ethereum test network with PoS-based consensus, while Scroll Alpha is a zero-knowledge rollup testnet deployed on top of the former. There are some pre-deployed demo applications: a bridge between *Goerli* and *Scroll Alpha* based on the [Hop Exchange](https://hop.exchange/) UI, a block explorer for *Scroll Alpha* using [Blockscout](https://blockscout.com/), and a rollup explorer.

To view submitted transactions, check out Ethereum's official Goerli block explorers on [Etherscan](https://goerli.etherscan.io/) and Scroll's [Blockscout](https://eth-goerli.blockscout.com/). You may also want to try out [Dora](https://www.ondora.xyz/network/scroll-zkp/interactions) or [Scroll Explorer](https://scroll.l2scan.co/). <br>

Here is the suggested workflow to explore the Testnet:

1. Add the [**Alpha Testnet**](https://scroll.io/alpha) configurations to your wallet.
2. Request test tokens in the *Goerli* network from any Ethereum Faucet app. ([example](https://goerlifaucet.com/))
3. Transfer test tokens from *Goerli* to *Scroll Alpha* through the **Bridge** app.
4. Transfer tokens to other wallets on *Scroll Alpha* using your wallet.
5. View the status of transactions and blocks in the **Goerli & Alpha Block Explorers** and the **Rollup Explorer**.
6. Withdraw tokens from *Scroll Alpha* to *Goerli* through the **Bridge** app.

You can find the instructions for each app in the rest of this user guide.
