Blockchain Testbed
An advanced environment for developing, testing and validating decentralized solutions.
This initiative aims to provide secure and scalable innovation specifically for Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Blockchain Testbed, developed in collaboration with RedCLARA and LACNet, is the most robust public-permissioned infrastructure in the region for the safe experimentation of Web 3.0 solutions.
It is an advanced environment that drives the development, validation, and scaling of decentralized solutions—designed for those who seek to build projects in a regulated, secure setting aligned with international standards.
Through the Testbed, universities, research centers, startups, governments, and companies can design, test, and optimize blockchain applications such as digital credentials, supply chain traceability, digital identity, and smart contracts—without incurring transaction costs and without the need for their infrastructure.
Why is it unique?
Based on LACNet’s Pro-Testnet, with the same technical architecture as the Mainnet Omega (production environment).
Zero transaction costs (gas fees), minimizing initial investment.
RedCLARA and IDB Lab provide institutional backing and specialized technical support in Spanish.
We are prepared for projects that align with international standards and regulatory environments.
Blockchain in context
Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that ensures secure, transparent, and decentralized data storage.
Multiple network nodes replicate the information, enhancing its resilience to failures and resistance to manipulation, unlike centralized databases.
The BELLA II Blockchain Testbed enables experimentation and validation of these capabilities in a trusted environment before scaling to production.
Key Features
Secure and Isolated Environment
Risk-free testing for systems and applications in development, with an architecture that is identical to the production environment.
Advanced Technology Resources
Preconfigured infrastructure with node networks, ready-to-use APIs, and smart contract support.
Frictionless Transition to Production
The Pro-Testnet and Mainnet Omega share the same technical architecture, minimizing adjustments during migration.
Investment Optimization
Avoid high upfront costs: test and validate in the testbed before deploying to production networks.
Uses
Digital Diplomas
Issuance, delivery, and secure validation of certificates, diplomas, and verifiable academic credentials on-chain.
Capacity building
Strengthening of blockchain technical talent training and development processes in the region.
Social and Productive Impact
Applications for product traceability, digital identity, regulatory compliance, and certifications with direct impact on communities and key sectors.
LACNet
The testbed is deployed on the infrastructure of LACNet, a non-profit organization created by RedCLARA and LACNIC, with the support of IDB Lab, within the framework of the Global LACChain Alliance.
Pro-Testnet: A testing environment replicating the technical characteristics of Mainnet Omega.
Mainnet Omega: A production network with advanced support, currently used by over 80 entities and 50 projects, including solutions for digital credentials, identity, traceability, and smart contracts.
Access is available year-round, with a stable technical architecture and specialized support that facilitates every stage—from initial setup to production migration.
Projects benefit from an environment that minimizes risks, optimizes investment, and accelerates deployment times, providing competitive go-to-market advantages in innovation.
