LiteForge (LitVM): Testnet goes live with zkLTC support

LiteForge testnet has launched, announced by LitVM.

The network brings smart contracts, DeFi applications, a Web3 ecosystem, and a zkLTC-powered stack to Litecoin. The testnet release includes a public testnet site and an on-chain faucet for obtaining test tokens.

Developer and tooling integrations are available: an Explorer is live, lester-labs provides token deployment tooling, and MidasHand supports market creation and testing. These tools enable builders to prototype tokens, AMM/market flows, and other DeFi primitives on the LiteForge testnet.

Resources published alongside the launch include a testnet portal, faucet hub, explorer, and links to third-party developer tools for early testing and integration.
