Developers are able to leverage the Teller protocol to build their own innovative DeFi products. The protocol is designed in a way that is feature-rich enough to power large-scale applications, yet simple enough for a weekend hack.
The easiest way to test out the Teller platform and play around with it is to first obtain test USDC, ETH, or DAI tokens through either a ‘faucet’ website or the Compound app. This can be done on Kovan, allowing users to access our testnet.
Open a new tab and go to https://app.mycrypto.com/, and connect your wallet.
Once connected, go to the test facucet link from the navbar on the left:
Select the account you connected and request for the assets:
Prove that you are not a robot:
Once the transaction has been broadcasted and confirmed on the network, the test Ethers will appear in your wallet. Now we're ready to Compound that wealth!
To get some USDC on Kovan, we highly recommend you go to our friends over at Compound. Visit https://app.compound.finance/ and make sure to have your Metamask wallet selected to the Kovan network. We'll need that test ETH!
Select the USDC coin, click on the withdraw tab, and then the Faucet link at the bottom.
Holy gas fees Batman! Confirm the transaction and follow the transaction on Etherscan.
Once successful, click on the link to follow the transaction on Etherscan. After the transaction has been broadcasted. Go to the USDC contract link and copy the contract address.
Enter the copied address into your Metamask wallet as a custom token.
Congratulations!
Go back to the homepage of https://app.compound.finance. (You will need some test ETH to get the DAI test tokens, as we did for USDC)
Click on the Dai token and select the withdraw tab in the popup. At the bottom of the popup click on FAUCET
Confirm the MetaMask notification and follow the transaction on Etherscan
Go to the DAI contract link and copy the contract address.
Import the contract into your Metamask as a custom token
Let the games begin!
Go to Chainlink Kovan faucet homepage at https://kovan.chain.link/
Complete your address and captcha and receive 100 test LINK tokens.
Go to the transaction hash on Etherscan and copy the contract address from the LINK link (see what we did there?)
Add the contract address to your Metamask wallet as a custom token to check your LINK balance
Here is the list of Token addresses we use for Kovan.
