# Quickstart

Three steps to your first SVPChain transaction. Uses **Testnet**; mainnet is not yet live.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### 1) Add the network to MetaMask

Open MetaMask → **Networks** → **Add network manually** and enter:

| Field           | Value                                        |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| Network name    | `SVPChain Testnet`                           |
| RPC URL         | `https://svp-dataseed1-testnet.svpchain.org` |
| Chain ID        | `2517`                                       |
| Currency symbol | `SVP`                                        |
| Block explorer  | `https://explorer.svpchain.com`              |

Or use this snippet in your dApp to prompt the user automatically:

```js
await window.ethereum.request({
  method: 'wallet_addEthereumChain',
  params: [{
    chainId: '0x9d5', // 2517
    chainName: 'SVPChain Testnet',
    nativeCurrency: { name: 'SVP', symbol: 'SVP', decimals: 18 },
    rpcUrls: ['https://svp-dataseed1-testnet.svpchain.org'],
    blockExplorerUrls: ['https://explorer.svpchain.com'],
  }],
});
```

Full endpoint list: [Networks](/svpchain-docs/chain/networks.md).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 2) Fund an address

Copy your `0x...` address from MetaMask, then claim testnet `SVP` from the faucet:

* **Faucet:** <https://www.svpchain.org/faucet>
* **Limit:** 1 request per hour per address.

See [Faucet](/svpchain-docs/get-started/faucet-testnet.md) if the request doesn't go through.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 3) Send your first transaction

**From MetaMask** — click **Send**, paste any address, enter an amount, confirm.

**From the command line** (using [`cast`](https://book.getfoundry.sh/cast/)):

```sh
export RPC=https://svp-dataseed1-testnet.svpchain.org
export PK=0x...   # your private key (testnet only)

cast send 0xRecipient... --value 0.01ether --rpc-url $RPC --private-key $PK
```

**Verify it landed:**

```sh
cast tx <txhash> --rpc-url $RPC | head -20
```

Or paste the hash into <https://explorer.svpchain.com>.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
