Test Scope:

Setup:

Step 1: Setup a MultiversX Wallet. Only DeFi Wallet is supported for this test event. Put your wallet in "DEVNET" mode if required (but this should happen automatically when you use the Portal as it's setup in DEVNET mode only).

Step 2: Get some dEGLD (DEVNET EGLD), which is required for gas payment on MultiversX. Go here, https://devnet-wallet.multiversx.com, login with your wallet from Step 1, and use the "Faucet" to get dEGLD. Alternately, you can use https://r3d4.fr/faucet to get dEGLD (Note! this is a 3rd party site so proceed with caution)

Step 3: Get DEVNET ITHEUM tokens, Go here: https://test.datadex.itheum.io/, login with your wallet from Step 1, Click on "Dash" on the top menu, and click on the "Send me ITHEUM" button to get 1,000 ITHEUM tokens.

Get your devnet $ITHEUM from the faucet

Actions:

1. The following actions can be repeated.

2. The below assumes you begin the test with 1,000 $ITHEUM tokens on MultiversX DEVNET.

3. Before you begin the next actions, note down all your balances.

4. Note that the last step, you will need to come back in 2 days to "claim your rewards" based on the staking rewards. It's important you give these 2 day interval as we need to verify the balances as per your test.
