However, since the Enjin Blockchain is fully immutable, any NFTs deployed on it will exist forever – which is why it’s always best to build your proof-of-concept on a test network first.
The Canary test network was launched a few months ago, alongside the Enjin Blockchain, and many adopters have been anticipating the launch of Enjin’s tools within this safe test environment.
Most developers are more comfortable building on a “testnet”, like Canary, because it allows them to iterate freely without leaving a trail of unused mainnet NFTs in their wake.
Access the testnet versions here:
Moreover, they can acquire free testnet ENJ (cENJ) from the Canary Faucet to cover their transaction fees, allowing them to test without spending any money first. You can receive cENJ in your Enjin Wallet after adding the “Canary Matrixchain” network in your wallet.
Now that Enjin Platform and NFT.io are available on Canary, adopters have everything they need to start building with Enjin.
If you’re a developer looking to build your proof-of-concept on Canary, here are some tools to help you get started:
A powerful cross-chain wallet that allows you to sign transactions and manage your assets on both mainnet and testnet.
Use this faucet to load testnet tokens (cENJ) into your account, enabling you to process unlimited transactions on the testnet for free.
The plug-and-play NFT-integration platform, enabling you to launch a full-scale Web3 gaming economy with ease.
An easy-to-use interface where you can run queries and mutations powered by Enjin’s GraphQL API.
The Enjin Blockchain’s on-chain NFT marketplace that can be natively integrated into your games and apps.
Allows you to extract, visualize, and review Canary Matrixchain data, including vital information about NFT transactions, such as transaction history, wallet balances, transaction fees, and other useful metrics.
As game developers, there’s nothing more exciting than building something new and unique that will transform the player experience.

Here are some operations you can experiment with on Canary right now:
There’s no better way to get active players into your game than by offering in-game NFT drops.
Player has downloaded the game and connected their wallet.
If you’re dropping NFTs like gear and armor through your game, you’ll want to make sure players are able to select which items to activate.
Player has already connected their wallet and received an NFT.
You can even use the Enjin Platform to create tokenized consumables such an exp-boosters and potions
Player has already connected their wallet and received a consumable NFT.
As players explore your universe, they will naturally want to purchase NFTs off their fellow explorers. Using Enjin’s end-to-end integration tools, you have the power to launch a complete NFT marketplace that players can purchase NFTs from without even leaving your game.
Player has already connected their wallet.
