Getting Started

If you are new to The Risk Protocol, begin with our Litepaper, which lays out the concepts behind risk-tokenization in simple, intuitive language. Once the ideas click, move on to our dApp User Guide for a step-by-step walk-through of the dApp—connecting your wallet, minting SMART Tokens, swapping, providing liquidity, and redeeming.

The TRP Testnet runs on Arbitrum Sepolia, so you will need ETH on Arbitrum Sepolia to pay gas fees. Getting it is free and takes two steps. The easiest way to do it is to first get Sepolia ETH on Ethereum Sepolia from one of the faucets below, then bridge it to Arbitrum Sepolia using the official Arbitrum Bridge.

You will also need test funds to simulate underlying cryptocurrencies within the testnet environment. As shown in the dApp User Guide, you can receive test BTC and test ETH by simply clicking on 'Get Testnet Funds' from the wallet dropdown menu (shown below).

With this context, you are equipped to navigate the protocol confidently and begin your journey on the risk layer.

GOOD LUCK AND BON VOYAGE!

Bridge to Arbitrum Sepolia

Once you hold Sepolia ETH, the official Arbitrum Bridge moves it from Ethereum Sepolia (Layer 1) onto Arbitrum Sepolia, where the TRP Testnet lives. You keep the same wallet address on both sides. Link: bridge.arbitrum.io

Connect your wallet.
Confirm the source is Ethereum Sepolia and the destination is Arbitrum Sepolia, select ETH, and enter an amount.
Press Move funds and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
Funds arrive on Arbitrum Sepolia in roughly 10 minutes. Once they land, you are ready to follow the dApp User Guide.

Backup: Arbitrum Sepolia Faucets

A few faucets pay out directly on Arbitrum Sepolia, with no bridging involved. Their drips are smaller, and most require a mainnet balance, so treat them as a backup if the Layer 1 faucets run dry.
