Testnet is an instance of the blockchain that is used for testing and experimenting on projects without utilizing real funds. The coins used on this blockchain are also separate from the coins used in the Mainnet and hold no value. These coins can be obtained from community faucets for free to help encourage testing.

Stakehouse’s Testnet is a place that encourages users to test and experiment with Stakehouse on the Testnet version of the Ethereum blockchain known as Georli. To utilize the Testnet version of Stakehouse you will need Goerli ETH tokens that can be accessed via faucets.
