Set Up Dev Environment

1. Wallet Setup & Configuration​

To start building on Ten, you first need to set up and configure your wallet with the Ten network.

  1. Install MetaMask: Install MetaMask either as a browser extension or mobile app.
  2. Configure MetaMask for Ten:
    • Visit the Ten Gateway for wallet setup.
    • Click on 'Connect to Ten Testnet' and follow the on-screen instructions.
    • Learn more about the Ten Gateway.
  3. Acquire Testnet ETH Tokens: To perform transactions, you'll need testnet ETH tokens. Refer to our Getting tokens.

2. Setting Up the Environment​

Once your wallet is ready, you can proceed with the development and deployment of your smart contracts.

  1. Choose an IDE: Use your preferred development environment or Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Truffle, Remix, Hardhat, or Foundry. Check out IDE compatibility and its features here.
  2. Connect IDE to MetaMask: Ensure your chosen IDE is connected to your MetaMask wallet.

3. Docker Configuration​

For developers running a node and infrastructure using Docker on a Mac, please be aware that you must disable the “Use Rosetta for x86_64/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon” setting. Failing to do so will prevent the testnet from running correctly.
