Get tBTC

Rooch now provides some applications that interact with Bitcoin, such as staking, games, etc. We need to use tBTC as the interactive asset.

Therefore, you need to obtain some BTC on the Bitcoin test network through some ways.

• You can get it through certain Bitcoin faucets.
• You can get it through Rooch's Discord, and we'll explain how to get it in detail below.

Get it via Rooch Discord

1. Enter the testnet-faucet channel on Rooch Discord:

2. Set Bitcoin testnet address:

Enter !setaddress <BTC_ADDRESS> in the input box to set the address to obtain tBTC.

Demo:
