TestNet Admin RPC Methods

You can fully control your TestNet by using special RPC methods. These methods are made available through the Admin RPC, which you can copy from the Dashboard.

They allow you to manipulate the network state such as account balances, block numbers, and storage to accommodate your development needs.

Calls to these RPC methods are represented by a call to virtual TenderlyCheatcodes contract.

The list of special RPC methods listed here will only work if they are called through the Admin RPC.
