Tunnel ETH to Hemi

📜 TL;DR:

  • AcquireETH, which is essential for initiating transactions and testing smart contracts on Hemi testnet.

  • Move your ETH to Hemi by using the Tunnel, enabling interactions within the Hemi Network ecosystem.


🏁 Prerequisites

  • Acquire ETH - ETH can be purchased on any number of exchanges and on-ramps. Hemi is currently integrated with MetaMask and we recommend MetaMask to purchase your ETH for the quickest onboarding. You may also visit other exchanges, such as Coinbase, to purchase and send your ETH to MetaMask.

  • EVM (MetaMask) Wallet Setup - Set up your EVM wallet and add the Hemi Network before interacting with any Hemi application.

TESTNET ONLY If you plan on developing on or interacting with Hemi testnet, alternative prerequisites may apply:

  • To test out the Tunnel on the Sepolia testnet, you can obtain Sepolia ETH with any of the following options:

    1. Hemi Discord Faucet: Join our Discord and tap our Hemi Sepolia ETH faucet!

    2. Using Alchemy: This method requires creating an account but is generally faster.

    3. Direct Faucet Access: If you prefer a no-account option, though it might be slower, use the Sepolia Faucet directly.
