Testnet Participation Guide

Here's a Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 - Connect Wallet to the Arbitrum Sepolia Network

To interact with the ShiftCTRL testnet, you will first need to add the Arbitrum Sepolia network to your wallet. The process of adding Arbitrum Sepolia to your wallet may vary depending on the wallet you are using. The steps below are for MetaMask. If you are using a different wallet, there is likely a similar process you can follow.

1. Open your Metamask extension. You'll see your current network displayed on the top left. Click on it.

1. When prompted to select a network, click ‘+ Add network’.

1. A new browser tab will open displaying the popular networks. Click ‘Add a network manually’ at the bottom of the screen.

1. When prompted for network details, input the following information in each respective field and click ‘Save’:

Network Name	Arbitrum Sepolia
New RPC URL	https://sepolia-rollup.arbitrum.io/rpc
Chain ID	421614
Currency Symbol	ETH
Block Explorer URL	https://sepolia.arbiscan.io

1. If the information is inputted correctly, a pop-up will inform you that the network has been added successfully. Click ‘Switch to Arbitrum Sepolia’ to continue.

1. Step 1 complete! You have successfully connected your wallet to the Arbitrum Sepolia Network.

Step 2 - Add Test Tokens to Wallet

Before retrieving tokens from the faucet, you need to add the test tokens to your wallet.

1. On your wallet page, click ‘+ Import tokens’.

1. On the import token page, input the CTRL token contract address:

CTRL Token Contract Address

0xa2e9A36e4535E1c832A6c54aEA4b9954889342d3

1. If the token contract address is inputted correctly, the Token symbol and Token decimal should auto-populate. Click ‘Next’ to continue.

1. On the subsequent (confirmation) page, click ‘Import’.
