Chain ID: 0xfa2

Currency Symbol: FTM

Block Explorer URL: https://testnet.ftmscan.com/

Open your Metamask wallet and click on the icon that says ‘Ethereum Mainnet’ on the middle top of your Metamask wallet

Your wallet should look like this, click on ‘Custom RPC’ (located at the bottom of the list).

Once you are on ‘Custom RPC’, fill in the details that are provided, click ‘save’.

And congrats! you’re ready to do the testing!

So what’s next?

Go to https://faucet.fantom.network/ to get your FTM Test tokens

Then Go to https://alpha.fantomstarter.io/

While connected, open the Faucet page from the top navigation bar to get a few Test FS tokens for staking

Next

Buying FantomStarter Key NFTs. Once the transaction is complete and you get the Test FS tokens in your wallet, head to the Store page to see if your wallet got the tokens.

Your Test FS tokens balance is shown in the top right corner of the Store page.

Now, you are ready to test out Staking tokens for participating in the upcoming IDO pools or buying NFTs at a discount for investing in the shortlisted and vetted projects.

If you want to test most of the functions of the platform for this first version you can follow these steps:

Go to stake and stake a tier using Test FS tokens

2. Unstake tokens and eat the 10% penalty

3. Go to the store and buy a tier NFT

4. Go to stake and stake a tier using your shiny NFT ( you can only stake 1 NFT)

5. Go to unstake and show it’s locked

6. Finally, come tell us your feedback in our Telegram channel!

Note: if you stake NFT first, it means you can’t unstake and you will not be able to experience steps 1 & 2!
