We’ve just launched our [testnet](https://testnet.aurigami.finance/)! If you had somehow missed our announcement of our launch, you can have a read of the article covering it [here](https://medium.com/aurigami/aurigamis-testnet-is-live-29348a5e1deb).

To help you begin your adventure on Aurigami’s testnet, we’ve prepared a quick guide on how to start things off in there:-

**Obtaining Test Tokens**
-------------------------

Step 1. Connect wallet

Connect your wallet to the website. If the network is not already set to the [testnet network](https://testnet.aurora.dev/start), there will be a pop-up requesting your permission to switch automatically to the correct network.

**Step 2. Request test tokens from the faucet**

Click on “Faucet” to obtain some test tokens. You will need to sign and approve this transaction on the testnet.

**Deposit**
-----------

**Step 1. Pick the asset to Deposit**

Under Markets, pick the asset you want to deposit/lend and click on “Deposit”. In this example, we will use USDC.

**Step 2. Approve USDC**

Type in the amount to deposit and click on “Approve USDC”. There will be a wallet popup to confirm the permission.

**Step 3. Deposit USDC**

After approving usage of USDC, the “Approve” button will transform into “Deposit”. Click on it to perform the deposit.

**Step 4. Enable collateral**

To enable the USDC you just deposited to be collateralised, toggle the collateral button under “My Account > Deposits” on the right. After that, click on “Enable now”. To disable collateral, simply toggle the same button again.

The increase in the borrow limit shown is the increase in the maximum amount of loan you can borrow by collateralising the asset.

**Borrow**
----------

**Step 1. Pick the asset to borrow**

Under Markets, pick the asset to borrow. In this example, we will use WNEAR.

**Step 2. Borrow WNEAR**

Type in the amount to borrow and click on “Borrow”. There will be a wallet popup to confirm the permission. The borrow limit based on the collaterals you have enabled is also shown here.

Borrow utilisation displays the amount of borrow limit that you will be using up with this transaction. A higher borrow utilisation rate means a higher risk of liquidation.

**Step 3. Repaying loans**

![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/e86e27a3fcd9f1a8502767c6d65023489fbf021af3e9e9aa5cdf0e8471736e70.png)

To repay your loans, click on “My Account > Borrows” on the right, then click on “Repay”. Key in the amount you want to repay then “Approve WNEAR”, and then “Repay” once the approval transaction has been confirmed.

And that should be enough to kickstart your adventure on Aurigami!
