Testnet Participation Guide

Here's a Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 - Connect Wallet to the Base Sepolia Network

To interact with the ShiftCTRL testnet, you will first need to add the Base Sepolia network to your wallet. The process of adding Base 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 on "Add" for Base Mainnet, and then click ‘Add a network manually’ at the bottom of the screen to add testnet manually.

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

Network Name

Base Sepolia

New RPC URL

https://sepolia.base.org/

Chain ID

84532

Currency Symbol

ETH

Block Explorer URL

https://sepolia-explorer.base.org/

You may refer to official Base Docs too.

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

  1. Step 1 complete! You have successfully connected your wallet to the Base 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
0x193410b8cdeD8F4D63E43D0f2AeD99bd862ed1Bc

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

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

  1. You have successfully imported the CTRL token to your wallet. Next, repeat the same procedure to import cbBTC and other Tab currencies you wish to test:

cbBTC Token Address:
0x7eC62ECbE14B6E3A8B70942dFDf302B4dd9d6a51 (to simulate actual cbBTC in mainnet)

Here are the token contract addresses for some of the popular Tab currencies

sUSD Token Address:
0xc99E6c8Fb2cD8adA848FFcDfafC46d2D300B443b
sEUR Token Address:
0xf42f613608Ff5Bb1B6B584243101552E11A58c7F
sJPY Token Address:
0x60e513F41aF473D447244076F8c3bF65152646a8

For all the Tab contract addresses, please refer to this page.

  1. Once completed, your wallet should look like the image below. Step 2 is now complete.

Step 3 - Request Tokens from Faucets

To perform tests on QWERTY, you will need ETH test tokens to pay for gas fees.

  1. Requesting ETH Test Tokens:

Your wallet must have minimum balance of 0.001 ETH on Base mainnet to request for Base Sepolia ETH.

  1. Requesting cbBTC and CTRL Test Tokens

  • You will also need cbBTC test tokens to deposit as reserve for minting Tabs, and CTRL test tokens if you wish to test governance.

  • To request cbBTC and CTRL, go to the ShiftCTRL Faucet.

  • Input your wallet address and click ‘Request’ to receive your test tokens.

  1. Step 3 is complete! You are all set to begin testing.
