Getting Started

This quickstart guide is intended for users who wish to use the Global Trust Network (GTN) or Stability Testnet through browser extensions. In this example, we will use MetaMask, the most popular browser extension for interacting with blockchains.

MetaMask Configuration

MetaMask allows users to interact with the Global Trust Network or Stability Testnet easily. Here's how to set it up:

1. Installing MetaMask

If you haven't already, install MetaMask for your browser from the official MetaMask website.

Stability Portal Page

Step 2 - Select Your Preferred Registration

On this screen, select your preferred method of registration. For this tutorial, we will be following the Google sign-in path. You may also similarly log in via Email, GitHub, Magiclink, or directly through Metamask.

It is important to note that registrations through Metamask or Magiclink do not provide a dedicated API Key. Without an API Key, you will not be able to perform transactions on Global Trust Network (GTN) and Stability Testnet. To receive an API Key, you must register using either GitHub, Google, or Email.

If you opt to register via email, ensure you can verify your email address.
