## Prism Market: Testnet Guide

Welcome to the official testnet guide for the Prism Market Protocol. This step-by-step guide will walk you through funding your wallet, placing your first trades, and helping us test the protocol's mechanics before our mainnet launch.

#### Step 1: Set Up a Hedera Testnet Wallet

If you do not already have one, you will need to create a Hedera-compatible Web3 wallet (such as HashPack). Ensure your wallet network is explicitly set to the Hedera Testnet environment.

#### Step 2: Claim Testnet USDC

Prism Market utilizes USDC for all collateral and settlement. To fund your testnet wallet:

1. Associate Testnet USDC token ID: 0.0.429274
2. Navigate to the [Circle Faucet](https://faucet.circle.com/).
3. Select Hedera from the network dropdown menu.
4. Enter your Hedera Testnet Account ID (e.g., `0.0.xxxxxx`).
5. Click submit to receive 20 testnet USDC.&#x20;

*Note: You can return to the faucet to claim an additional 20 USDC every 2 hours.*

#### Step 3: Connect to Prism Market

Once your wallet is funded, head over to the Prism Market testing environment:

* Go to [testnet.prism.market](https://testnet.prism.market/)
* Click Connect Wallet in the top right corner and approve the connection.

#### Step 4: Test the Protocol

Now that you are connected, it is time to interact with the Central Limit Order Book (CLOB). Try executing the following actions:

* Find a Market: Browse the active markets and select an event you want to trade on.
* Place a Limit Order: Submit a YES or NO limit order at your desired price. Wait for another user to take the opposite side and match your order.
* Track Your Portfolio: Navigate to the "Portfolio" tab to view your active orders and current position shares.
* Engage: Utilize the comment section on the market page to participate in the public discourse regarding that specific event.

#### Step 5: Provide Feedback

Your testing is vital to our mainnet success. If you encounter any bugs, UI glitches, or have suggestions for improving the user experience, please let the team know!

Submit your feedback and bug reports in our Discord or email: <info@prism.market>
