# Claim $USDC

You can claim **testnet USDC** on the **Sepolia Base** network by interacting with the smart contract directly using **Blockscout**. Follow the steps below to claim your **testnet USDC**.

***

## **Step 1: Set Up Your Wallet**

1. **Connect Your Wallet to Sepolia Base**:
   * Make sure your **MetaMask** or any other Web3-enabled wallet is set to the **Sepolia Base** network.
   * Ensure you have some **Sepolia ETH** for gas fees.
2. **Get Some ETH**:
   * You will need **Sepolia ETH** in your wallet to cover gas fees for claiming USDC. If you don’t have any, use a Sepolia ETH faucet to acquire some.

## **Step 2: Access the USDC Contract on Blockscout**

1. **Open Blockscout**:
   * Visit the **testnet USDC contract** on Blockscout using this link:\
     [Testnet USDC Contract on Sepolia Base](https://base-sepolia.blockscout.com/address/0x6Ac3aB54Dc5019A2e57eCcb214337FF5bbD52897?tab=write_contract)

## **Step 3: Connect Your Wallet**

1. **Connect MetaMask**:
   * On the contract page, click **"Connect to Web3"** in the **Write Contract** tab. This will prompt your MetaMask wallet to connect.

## **Step 4: Claim Your Testnet USDC**

1. **Find the Mint Function**:
   * In the **Write Contract** tab, look for the function named **"mint"**.
2. **Enter Your Wallet Address**:
   * In the **"to (address)"** field, enter **your own wallet address** where you want to receive the testnet USDC.
3. **Enter the Amount to Mint**:
   * In the **"amount (uint256)"** field, enter the amount of USDC you wish to mint.\
     Example: To mint 10 USDC, enter `10000000` (since USDC has 6 decimals).
4. **Click Write**:
   * After entering the details, click **"Write"**. MetaMask will prompt you to confirm the transaction and pay the gas fee.
5. **Confirm the Transaction**:
   * Confirm the transaction in MetaMask and wait for it to be processed.

## **Step 5: Check Your Wallet**

1. **Check USDC Balance**:
   * After the transaction is confirmed, you should see the testnet **USDC** in your wallet.
2. **Add USDC to MetaMask**:
   * If USDC doesn't show up automatically, import the token manually by adding the **USDC contract address**:\
     `0x6Ac3aB54Dc5019A2e57eCcb214337FF5bbD52897`
