# Swapping on Testnet
|
|
|
|
Swapping on testnet is a great way to test out the swap functionality without risking your mainnet assets.
|
|
The _testnet_ is a separate network from the _mainnet_, only used for testing the blockchains.
|
|
The assets on testnet are worthless.
|
|
When we talk about "testnet", what we actually mean is the `Testnet3` network for Bitcoin and the `Stagenet` network for Monero.
|
|
You will need a wallet in each of these networks to perform a swap.
|
|
|
|
Here are the steps to set up the wallets using Electrum and Monero GUI.
|
|
|
|
## Electrum
|
|
|
|
Download Electrum from the official [site](https://electrum.org/#download) and then start the wallet in testnet mode.
|
|
|
|
import { Tabs, Tab } from 'nextra/components'
|
|
|
|
<Tabs items={['Linux', 'macOS', 'Windows']}>
|
|
<Tab>
|
|
```bash
|
|
./electrum --testnet
|
|
```
|
|
</Tab>
|
|
<Tab>
|
|
```bash
|
|
open -n /Applications/Electrum.app --args --testnet
|
|
```
|
|
</Tab>
|
|
<Tab>
|
|
Open the `Electrum Testnet` program from your start menu.
|
|
</Tab>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
|
|
To get some free Testnet coins visit a faucet like [this](https://testnet-faucet.mempool.co) one.
|
|
|
|
## Monero
|
|
|
|
If you use `monero-wallet-cli` you simply need to start it with the `--stagenet` flag.
|
|
If you use the GUI you can follow [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E4aO3UAqJo) tutorial.
|
|
A list of stagenet remote nodes can be found [here](https://monero.fail/?chain=monero&network=stagenet).
|
|
|
|
## Launching the GUI
|
|
|
|
View the [Installation Instructions](../getting_started/install_instructions) if you haven't already installed the GUI.
|
|
Then start the GUI in testnet mode.
|
|
|
|
<Tabs items={['Linux', 'macOS']}>
|
|
<Tab>
|
|
```bash
|
|
./UnstoppableSwap_*_amd64.AppImage --testnet
|
|
```
|
|
</Tab>
|
|
<Tab>
|
|
```bash
|
|
open -n /Applications/UnstoppableSwap.app --args --testnet
|
|
```
|
|
</Tab>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
|
|
From here on you can follow the [Complete your first swap](../usage/first_swap) guide.
|
|
The process is the same, but you will be using the testnet wallets instead of the mainnet wallets.
