About
Verida Wallet currently supports tokens on Ethereum, Algorand, NEAR, and Polygon. This guide will step you through how to send Ethereum (ETH) tokens on the Goerli Test Network from Goerli Faucet → Metamask Wallet → Verida Wallet Ethereum Wallet.
An Ethereum faucet is a developer tool to get testnet Ether (ETH) in order to test and troubleshoot decentralized application or protocol before going live on mainnet, where one must use real Ether. Most faucets require social authentication (e.g. Twitter post or login confirming you are a real human) or place you in a queue to wait for a testnet token through the faucet. The Alchemy Goerli faucet is free, fast, and does not require authentication, though you can optionally login to Alchemy to get an increased drip. https://goerlifaucet.com/
Metamask is a crypto wallet that provides support for ETH-based tokens. If you don’t have a Metamask wallet, create one https://metamask.io/
The Verida Wallet is a self-custody web3 mobile wallet that supports zero knowledge credentials and multiple blockchains. Users can manage their self-sovereign decentralized identities and encrypted personal data all secured by the Verida Network. The Verida Wallet is currently operating on the Acacia Testnet. You can download the Verida Wallet at verida.io and create your new decentralized identity.
