Getting Started with XOS Testnet ​

To fully utilize the capabilities of the XOS Testnet, you'll need an active account and sufficient XOS to cover transaction costs. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to set up your wallet, acquire XOS, and begin interacting with the XOS Testnet.

Essential Setup Steps ​

Wallet Configuration ​

To engage with the XOS Testnet, you'll need a compatible Ethereum wallet like MetaMask. This wallet will serve as your primary interface for managing accounts, authorizing transactions, and deploying smart contracts on the XOS Testnet.

Acquiring XOS for Transactions ​

Every operation on the XOS Testnet, including smart contract deployment and token transfers, requires a small amount of XOS to cover transaction fees. There are two primary methods to obtain XOS for the XOS Testnet:

Using the Faucet: The XOS Testnet Faucet provides free test XOS for development purposes.
