Introducing Pecorino
A better testing environment has arrived.
Today we’re announcing Pecorino, Signet’s public testnet. If you want to get started, grab some testnet USD from our faucets here (PoW) or here (Gas.zip) to try things out.
Why We Built Pecorino
Existing testnets consistently fail developers when they need them most. Holesky experiences chain halts and coordination failures. Traditional rollup testing forces you to work around withdrawal periods and complex infrastructure requirements – Pecorino is our answer to testnet reliability.
Pecorino, like the cheese, is sharp, distinctive, and pairs perfectly with our simple approach to rollups.
Pecorino brings Signet to the public with all its core rollup improvements:
- Simplified architecture without proving systems or state roots
- Same-block atomic cross-chain swaps
- Fair block production through round-robin sequencing
- Full EVM compatibility for seamless deployment
We’ve created a testing environment that’s fast, simple and allows developers to build with Signet’s extended EVM benefits and focus on user experience.

For Developers
The Signet SDK provides tools for:
- Order creation and signing
- Bundle simulation
- Transaction cache interaction

Whether you’re building applications that need reliable cross-chain actions, developing solver infrastructure for market-based transfers, or exploring conditional transactions, Pecorino lets you test what current rollups can’t deliver.
