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 Etherscan 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.

• Install MetaMask Extension

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

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!

tldr: To obtain funds, first ensure the wallet is connected to the Arbitrum Sepolia network. then, collect LP and ETH tokens from these faucets:

Faucet Guide

Get Testnet LP tokens

Find out why you need tokens in the

Follow these steps to successfully claim your Testnet LP tokens:

1. Navigate to the Lilypad Testnet .

2. Authenticate with Discord.

3. Copy your MetaMask wallet address into the input

4. Click "Request".

LP Testnet tokens will be sent to this wallet address.

Get Arbitrum Sepolia Testnet ETH

With a balance of both LP and ETH, you're ready to run jobs with the Lilypad CLI!

Before you run a Lilypad job, make sure you have and have set in your environment.

Run Cowsay

Run the command:

lilypad run cowsay:v0.0.4 -i Message="moo"

Wait for the compute to take place and for the results to be published:

View your results:

Lilypad enables you to run compute jobs on the network of the network of computers on Lilypad Testnet.

The cloud is just somebody else's computer...

Overview

This guide will take you through:

• Setting up MetaMask Wallet for the Lilypad Testnet so that you can get ETH and LP tokens to fund smart contract calls on Ethereum's Arbitrum testnet, and pay for jobs on Lilypad Testnet.

• Funding your wallet with Lilypad Testnet tokens from the faucet
