Berachain Testnet Operation Guide
I. Project Introduction
Berachain adopts the Proof-of-Liquidity mechanism. It is a high-performance EVM-compatible chain that has completed a financing round of $142 million. The V2 testnet, Bartio, has been launched. To claim test coins, the balance on the mainnet needs to be greater than 0.001 ETH.
II. Operation Objectives
Deeply participate in the ecosystem and obtain $BGT tokens through operations such as providing liquidity and staking. For details, please refer to the official documentation: https://docs.berachain.com/learn/pol/tokens/bgt
III. Detailed Steps
Obtain Test Coins: Open the claiming page and connect your wallet to start the test.
BEX Operations:
Open the BEX website, connect your wallet, switch to the Bartio testnet, and visit BEX Swap (https://bartio.bex.berachain.com/swap).
Exchange for HONEY, WBERA, STGUSDC, and WETH/WBTC. Exchange a bit more HONEY and reserve 0.3 BERA for gas fees.
Enter the "Pool" page, select token pairs with the BGT APY percentage, such as the WBERA and HONEY trading pair, to add liquidity.
Authorize and agree to complete the addition. Click on the token pair column for providing liquidity and click on "Deposit Receipt Tokens" to obtain BGT.
Mint HONEY: Open the minting page (https://bartio.honey.berachain.com), connect your wallet, exchange some STGUSDC tokens for HONEY, and complete the minting.
BEND Borrowing: Enter the BEND platform (https://bartio.bend.berachain.com), connect your wallet, click on the "Borrow HONEY" button to borrow, deposit the swapped WBTC/WETH, and confirm the transaction.
BGT Governance Interaction:
Visit the governance platform (https://bartio.station.berachain.com/gauge) and connect your wallet.
Check and claim BGT token rewards on the "Rewards" page. On the "Validators" interface, vote and delegate, and then confirm.
Contract Experience: Enter the contract platform (https://bartio.berps.berachain.com/berpetuals), fill in data randomly for contract operations. Since it’s on the testnet, there is no risk and you can try freely.
IV. Summary
Claiming Water: It requires a balance on the mainnet. If it fails, you can switch nodes and refresh the page and try several times.
Interaction: Pay attention to the balance of $BERA to prevent insufficient gas fees due to excessive token exchanges and being unable to continue the interaction.
