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:
- Create a wallet
- Configure the wallet to use test tokens
- Connect a network that sends test tokens to the wallet
- 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:
-
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.
-
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. -
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.
