What a testnet is
A testnet lets users try blockchain products in a non-production environment, usually for testing and learning.
Why students may care

How to participate carefully
- Use a clean wallet.
- Never rush into unknown approvals.
- Track the time spent.
- Treat this as learning first, not guaranteed income.
