Introduction

In this guide, I will show you how to interact with the LayerZero Testnet!

LayerZero stands as a User Application (UA), offering configurable on-chain endpoints powered by ULN (Universal Layer Network). This innovative framework leverages two integral entities for message transfers between on-chain endpoints: the Oracle and the Relayer. Additionally, LayerZero empowers seamless communication between different blockchains, serving as an omnichain interoperability protocol. By providing a foundational communication layer, LayerZero facilitates the development of cross-chain applications with unparalleled efficiency.

Step 1

The first thing we need to do is claim some AVAX testnet tokens, if your not sure how to do this, we have a simple setup guide here: How To Add AVAX Testnet To MetaMask


Step 2

Once you have the "Avalanche (AVAX) Fuji Testnet" in MetaMask, make sure you have selected it, then go to USDC.Demo.LayerZero.Network/bridge & connect your MetaMask wallet.





Step 3

Now you should be connected & should see your wallet address & "Fuji" at the top.

Scroll down & select "Faucet USDC", it will load the USDC faucet where we will claim some USDC testnet tokens.






Step 4

Now we need to do a few things here, first, select "ETH", then input your ETH wallet address where it says "Blockchain Address" & select "Tweet", this will load Twitter & generate a tweet including your ETH address.

Post the tweet, then select the Share button & "Copy link to Tweet" OR you can simply copy the tweet URL from the top of your browser.

Now paste the link/URL into the UDSC faucet website where it says "Tweet URL".

Now go back to Twitter & follow @usdcpatron, this is necessary to use the faucet.

Once you have done all that, select "Submit" & you should receive your USDC testnet tokens.









Step 5

Now go to Goerli Faucet, Login & enter your ETH address then select "Send Me ETH".




Step 6

Now let's bridge some USDC.

Go back to USDC.Demo.LayerZero.Network/bridge & make sure your wallet is still connected.

Now set the "From" to "Goerli Testnet" & set the "To" as "Fuji".

Input 1 USDC & select "Transfer".

You may need to claim some more Goerli from the Goerli Faucet to cover the Gas Fee's.








Step 7

Now we will do the same step but in reverse, so this time set the "From" as "Fuji" & set the "To" as "Goerli Testnet".

Also, make sure "Fuji" is selected in the top corner.

Input 1 USDC again & select "Transfer".

You may need to claim some more Goerli from the Goerli Faucet to cover the Gas Fee's.

You've successfully claimed testnet tokens & interacted with the LayerZero protocol! You may also be eligible for a future airdrop!
