Setting Up Your Wallet

Configure a crypto wallet to receive testnet tokens used to interact with the Lilypad Network

Both Resource Providers (GPU compute nodes) and those looking to run jobs on the Lilypad network need to set up a Metamask account in order to run jobs on Lilypad. The public key of your wallet address is how you are identified on the network, and is how you can look up the transactions you make on the Arbitrum Sepolia blockchain explorer. You need an account for running jobs, and a separate account for each GPU you want to set up on the network.

The wallet you use for your account must have both ETH (to run smart contracts on Ethereum) and Lilypad (LP) tokens in order to pay for jobs (or receive funds for jobs) on the network.

Create a MetaMask wallet

End users of Lilypad can decide which crypto wallet they would like to use. In this guide, we advise using a MetaMask crypto wallet.

Connect to the Arbitrum Sepolia Testnet in MetaMask.

The Lilypad Testnet (IncentiveNet) is currently running on the Arbitrum L2 network built on Ethereum.

In order to change to the Arbitrum network in the wallet, open MetaMask and click the network button in the top left of the menu bar:

Then select "Add network":

Next, select "Add a network manually":

Input the required Arbitrum Sepolia Testnet network info, and then "Save":

Network info is referenced directly from the Arbitrum Sepolia documentation.

Import the Testnet LP token

The wallet is now setup and will display an ETH (Arbitrum Sepolia) token balance. In order to also display the LP token balance, the LP token will need to be imported.

Select "Import tokens" from the three dot menu next to the network name:

Select "Custom token" and add the Lilypad token contract address and token symbol. Then "Save".

  • Token contract address: 0x0352485f8a3cB6d305875FaC0C40ef01e0C06535

  • Token symbol: LP

You should now see both ETH and LP listed in the wallet (initial ETH and LP balances will be 0).

Now you're ready to fund the wallet with testnet LP and ETH tokens!
