Objectives

Creating a crypto wallet and moving test tokens into it is a good way to begin experiencing a blockchain. This exercise has two parts:

  1. Create a wallet
    • Configure the wallet to use test tokens
    • Connect a network that sends test tokens to the wallet
  2. Add test tokens to the wallet
    • Send the test token to the wallet
    • Lookup up transaction on etherscan.io

For this exercise use a wallet and tools available on the web:

  1. Wallet There are many crypto wallets available. Use the MetaMask wallet for this exercise. MetaMask can be installed on mobile devices or as browser extension.

  2. Chainlist
    Chainlist, a tool made available by Chainlink, to connect Linea Sepolia, a testnet for Ethereum development, to the wallet. Chainlist provides a list of RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) that connect wallets to Web3 middleware providers.

  3. Chainlink Faucets
    Chainlink Faucets, is another tool made available by Chainlink to send test tokens to the wallet. Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network. Oracle networks create a bridge between a blockchain world and the rest of the world.

When the transaction is complete and settled you can look up the information about it on the Sepolia etherscan.
