Q Onboarding in 5 Minutes
Install MetaMask
First, install the browser add-on 'MetaMask'. After successful installation, add a custom network and enter the Q network configuration details that are documented within MetaMask tutorial. Finally, create two new accounts so you can later send Q tokens (QGOV) from one to another.
Network Configuration
You might need to configure your wallet to support and accept Q tokens (QGOV). To do this, you need to connect to the Q mainnet by using the following network details:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Network name | Q Mainnet |
| RPC-URL | https://rpc.q.org |
| Chain-ID | 35441 |
| Symbol | Q GOV |
| Block-Explorer-URL | https://explorer.q.org |
Note: ** These parameters are valid for Q mainnet only!
Get your first Q
Q tokens (QGOV) will be made available shortly for public sale.
In the meantime, you can still get started on the Q blockchain by claiming small amounts of Q tokens (QGOV) from the Mainnet Faucet. You can find more information on the faucet and on how to use it in the Faucet documentation.
Verify Q Funding
Once you have funded your wallet account, open MetaMask and select the according wallet account. It should now have received a couple of Qs and should display an according balance.
Send Q
Within MetaMask, click on "send", then "transfer between my accounts" and select the second wallet account you just created. Finish the transaction and wait for the entered amount of Q to be transferred from account to account. You can verify the transaction within the Q block explorer located at https://explorer.q.org. You can of course send Q to any other wallet address you know.
Earn Rewards
Now open a new tab and head over to https://hq.q.org. If you have MetaMask still activated and connected to Q mainnet, you should be browsing the Q decentralized app that allows users to exercise governance rights, earn rewards on Q tokens (QGOV) or do some saving and borrowing with Q DeFi.
