Getting Started on Testnet

The Nectra App is currently live on Citrea Testnet. To test it out, you will need to set up an EVM-compatible wallet and some testnet cBTC.

Wallet setup

Any EVM-compatible wallet will work with Nectra; we recommend using Metamask or Rabby wallet. Official guides to install the wallets and set them up are available at:

• https://support.metamask.io/start/getting-started-with-metamask/

• https://support.rabby.io/hc/en-us/categories/11149405123087-Official-Guides

Adding Citrea Testnet to the wallet

With your wallet set up correctly, you will need to add the Citrea testnet as a new network in your wallet. The following network details should be used:

Config	Value
Chain Name	Citrea Testnet
ChainID	5115
RPC Endpoint	https://rpc.testnet.citrea.xyz
Explorer	https://explorer.testnet.citrea.xyz
Currency Symbol	cBTC

The official Metamask guide should be followed to add a new network to the wallet. At this time, there are no official guides for Rabby.

Getting some testnet cBTC

To get some testnet cBTC, use the Citrea faucet by following their official guide.

Connecting to the Nectra app

Once set up, navigate to https://app.nectra.xyz and click on the "Connect Wallet" button in the top right corner of the page.

You are all set to give Nectra a try. If you like the project or have any questions, join Nectra's community on Discord.
