Preparing for the test

For this beta testing, you will be asked to test out transferring tokens from the Ethereum network to the Zilliqa network and vice versa via the ZilBridge. In order to do that, you will need to: (i) have both your Zilliqa and Ethereum-compatible web3 wallets ready as extensions on your web browser (refer to Supported Wallets for a list); and (ii) get relevant Testnet tokens (refer to guide below).

#1 | Get Testnet $ZIL

Step 1: Head to ZIL Faucet (https://dev-wallet.zilliqa.com/faucet)

Step 2: Enter your ZIL address in the field below and press "run faucet" to receive your Testnet ZIL tokens.

Step 3: Please allow for a few minutes for the Testnet ZILs to be deposited into your wallet. Ensure that you are on "Testnet" to view your newly received ZIL tokens.

Refer to the images below to learn how to change to the Testnet network on your ZilPay wallet.

#2 | Get Testnet $ETH

Step 1: Head to any of the following Ropsten Ethereum Faucets to start:

Option 1: Dimensions Network rETH Faucet (https://faucet.dimensions.network)
Option 2: Ropsten Ethereum Faucet (https://faucet.ropsten.be)

Step 2: Enter your Ethereum address in the field below to receive your Testnet ETH tokens.

Step 3: Please allow for a few minutes for the Testnet ETH to be deposited into your wallet. Ensure that you are on the "Ropsten Test Network" to view your newly received ETH token.

#3 | Get Testnet $ZWAP

Step 1: Head to ZilSwap (https://zilswap.io/swap).

Step 2: Ensure that you are connected to the Testnet Network on ZilSwap. You may double-check by looking at the network on the bottom left of the menu.

Step 3: Select ZWAP as the token you wish to swap to and enter the desired amounts as usual.

#4 | Get Testnet $DAI

Step 1: Head to UniSwap (https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap).

Step 2: Ensure that you are connected to the Ropsten Network on UniSwap. You may double-check by looking at the network on the top right of the screen.

Step 3: Select DAI as the token you wish to swap to and enter the desired swap amount as per normal. You will be prompted to add DAI to your Metamask wallet at this stage. Please proceed to add it to your wallet if you've not done so.

You can now begin to move DAI from the Ethereum network to the Zilliqa network.

Begin testing on ZilBridge (Testnet)

You're now all set and can proceed to try out the ZilBridge on zilswap.io/bridge! Video tutorials are available in the section below if you would like to see an end-to-end walkthrough before you begin testing.

1 | Preparing your wallets

Please ensure that you have both Zilliqa and Ethereum web3 wallets ready before beginning the bridging process. If you've not previously installed the extensions, please refer to Supported Wallets.

Ensure that both your wallets are connected to the Testnet networks:

Your ZilPay wallet that is connected to ZilSwap will be your default receiving Zilliqa wallet shown on the ZilBridge UI.
