Request SC_Token from faucet EVM side chain
IO Global maintains a faucet at https://faucet.sidechain.evmtestnet.iohkdev.io/ for testing purposes. The faucet dispenses test SC_Token that you can use to pay the gas fees on smart contracts that you run on the EVM sidechain testnet. You can claim one test SC_Token every 24 hours. You cannot swap the test SC_Token tokens you claim from the faucet for any other token, nor can you use them to make any purchases.
Steps to claim it
- Install Metamask on your favorite browser
- Create a new wallet as outlined here
- Select Add Network
- Manually insert the EVM sidechain settings
