Governance Participation
Welcome to the developer onboarding guide for [YourChain] — a fast, scalable blockchain built for real-world Web3 applications. In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
Set up your wallet
Get test tokens
Connect to the network
Send your first transaction
What You’ll Need
Before you begin, make sure you have:
Node.js version 18 or higher
Git installed on your computer
Basic knowledge of JavaScript or TypeScript
Step 1: Create a Wallet
To generate a wallet, install the @yourchain/sdk package and use the wallet creation method. You’ll get a new wallet address and private key. Store them securely — the private key gives full control over the wallet.
Step 2: Request Test Tokens
Head to the YourChain Faucet, paste your wallet address, and submit the form. You’ll receive testnet tokens within seconds.
If you’re using the CLI, you can also request tokens by passing your address as a parameter to the faucet command.
Step 3: Connect to the Network
To read data from the blockchain or interact with it, connect to the testnet using the public RPC endpoint. Once connected, you can query balances, read contract data, or monitor transactions using the SDK’s provider methods.
Step 4: Send Your First Transaction
Once you have test tokens, use your wallet to send a transaction. Define the recipient address, the amount to send (in the smallest token unit), and set a basic gas limit. After signing and sending the transaction, you’ll get a transaction hash to verify it on the testnet explorer.
