Neokard’s Testnet: BuildBear
Neokard used BuildBear to test high-volume NFT minting with blazing speed, explorer access, and zero token friction, accelerating their journey to production.
The Challenge
Scaling NFT Testing Without Time Loss
Neokard is building a Web3 onboarding platform that makes buying, sending, and receiving NFTs intuitive and seamless.
As they prepared for launch, they hit critical snags:
• Mass Minting Bottlenecks: Their test scripts needed to mint over 700 NFTs at a time
• Slow Feedback Loops: Public testnets like Mumbai delayed transactions by 30+ minutes per test run
• Visibility Issues: Debugging was tough with no explorer access for local nodes
With 3+ test runs required daily, that added up to 1.5 hours of lost time, every single day.
The Solution
BuildBear’s Forked Testnets Changed the Game
Neokard switched to BuildBear to eliminate friction and accelerate development:
• Custom Testnet Setup: Instantly spun up a BuildBear Net, forked from Polygon Mainnet
• Hardhat-Level Speed: Transactions processed as fast as local environments
• Explorer Access: Used BuildBear’s Explorer to inspect every transaction
• Instant Debugging: Failed transactions were identified and fixed in seconds
This setup let them keep testing in a high-speed, Mainnet-like environment without compromising visibility.
The Result
Rapid NFT Minting With Full Control
With BuildBear:
• 700+ NFT mints per test script ran in minutes, not half an hour
• BuildBear Explorer enabled seamless debugging and monitoring
• Developers tested with confidence and reduced daily time loss
Neokard gained time, clarity, and confidence, all while getting closer to launch.
Conclusion
BuildBear Turned Testnet Chaos Into Confidence
BuildBear gave Neokard the speed and control needed to move quickly and ship reliably.
• Fork from Mainnet in seconds
• Run high-volume NFT mints without delays
• Debug visually with an integrated explorer
Neokard now builds with less stress and more velocity, ready to onboard the next wave of users.
