[§ BRAGA TESTNET SETUP]

ONE-TIME · ~2 MIN

First time on Braga? Three clicks.

Veil runs on Arkiv's Braga testnet — chainId 60138453102, free GLM tokens from the faucet. Follow these three steps once and you're set to seal capsules and create vaults.

  1. [01]

    Add Braga to MetaMask

    One-click add via wallet_addEthereumChain. MetaMask prompts you to confirm the RPC + chainId.

    chainId 60138453102

  2. [02]

    Get test GLM from the faucet

    Free tokens for testing. Paste your wallet address into the faucet page — it sends ~0.01 GLM, enough for many txs.

    [Open Faucet ↗]

    connect wallet first

  3. [03]

    Verify and start

    Once tokens land (~10 seconds), your balance appears here. Then head to /capsule/new or /inheritance/new.

    Your Braga balance

Heads up: each Arkiv operation (create capsule, create vault, extend heartbeat) costs a few wei of GLM. The faucet drip is plenty for an afternoon of testing.

[§ FAQ]

Common questions

What is Braga?
Arkiv's public testnet — same SDK as mainnet, free tokens, intended for builders to test against. Every entity you create here is real and inspectable on the Braga explorer.
Why testnet for a real demo?
Mainnet is not live yet. Arkiv ships their first mainnet alongside the hackathon ecosystem. Until then, Braga is where everything runs — including this hackathon.
Do I need MetaMask specifically?
Any EIP-1193 wallet works (MetaMask, Rabby, OKX, Brave Wallet). The add-network button uses wallet_addEthereumChain, supported by all of them.
Will this cost me money?
No. GLM on Braga is testnet currency — no real value, faucet hands them out for free. You spend a tiny fraction per tx and refill from the faucet whenever you want.
What happens when Arkiv launches mainnet?
Veil's stack is chain-agnostic — switch the wagmi chain to Arkiv mainnet and everything works. Capsules and Vaults you created on Braga stay on Braga; new ones go to mainnet.
