Sign up for a test wallet account

Sign up for a test wallet with the Interledger Foundation to experiment with sending and receiving Web Monetization payments without using real money.

Step 1 - Create an account

1. Go to wallet.interledger-test.dev and click Create account.
2. Enter your email address and a password, then click the arrowhead. A verification email will be sent to you.
3. Click Confirm my email address within the verification email.
4. Log in to your newly created account and complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) steps.

Step 2 - Complete KYC

As you go through the Know Your Customer (KYC) check, the only real information you must share is your email address. All other information can be fake because you’re signing up for a test environment.

Reason for checks

The Interledger test wallet runs on a GateHub pre-production environment. This environment mimics their production environment, including many of their KYC steps.

Step 3 - Add a payment pointer

1. Select New Account on the Test Wallet dashboard.
   
2. Enter any account name, select any asset (currency), then click Create account.
   
3. Click Close, then select your new account from the dashboard.
4. Select Add payment pointer, then enter a payment pointer name and public name of your choosing.
   
5. Click Create. Your payment pointer should show within the Payment Pointers section.
   

Step 4 - Fund your wallet

1. Click Deposit.
   
2. Enter an amount between 50 and 1,000, then click Deposit.
   

Deposit amounts

Although you’re depositing fake money, large deposits are manually reviewed and approved by the test network team. This can take up to 24 hours. If you want to test immediately, we recommend keeping your deposits between 50 and 1,000. Also note that depositing more than 10,000 in a 24 hour period will cause your deposits to go into the manual review process.

You’re ready to start testing Web Monetization after your deposit appears in your account.
