USER GUIDE STEP 4: GET METIS TEST TOKENS FOR PAYING GAS FEES

Transactions on Metis Layer 2 will cost Metis tokens as the gas fee. In this test phase, you will thus have to get some Metis test tokens on Metis Layer 2 Beta Testnet first.

Click “Faucet” and on the page you will see “Give me Metis”. Click on that button and you will get 1 Metis test token per day for paying gas fees…even though 1 Metis test token can be used by itself for many days, covering up to thousands of transactions on Metis Layer 2.

Click “Create Token”, input the Token Name, Symbol, and the amount of Supply (you can drag the bar to adjust the amount). Then click “create” to mint your very first Layer 2 token on Metis Beta Testnet.

After clicking “Confirm” in MetaMask, your Layer 2 token will be created.

USER GUIDE STEP 6: ADD YOUR TOKEN ADDRESS TO METAMASK

After the creation of your token, on the Congratulations popup page, click “Add to MetaMask” to add your token. You will then be able to view your token in the Assets section of your MetaMask wallet.

You have now added your own token in MetaMask, but not yet to the official MetisSwap token list. In order to do that, follow the instructions on the page, send the Tweet, post your screenshot in our Telegram group, and tell our Telegram admin that you hope to add the token into the official list so that other people can also swap your token.

USER GUIDE STEP 7: ADD YOUR TOKEN INTO THE LIQUIDITY POOL

Click “Pool”, and then “Create a pair”.

Choose the token pair (e.g. W6/Metis) for which you want to add liquidity. Input the number, then approve the transaction.

Confirm the transaction in MetaMask.

After the confirmation, click “Supply” to add the token pair into the liquidity pool.

Confirm to create your pool and supply.

Your pool has been created!

If you can’t find your pool, use the “Import” function to add it.

Click “Swap”, choose the token you want to trade, then start trading and experience the low gas fees and high transaction speed of Metis Layer 2.

Happy testing!
