## 2. Prepare Minato ETH for Gas Fees

To use Dapps on Soneium Minato (e.g., staking, withdrawal, trading), you'll need Minato ETH. First, get Sepolia ETH via a faucet, then bridge it to the Minato network.

#### **1) Get Sepolia ETH**

* Sepolia ETH can be obtained via faucet services like Chainlink or Alchemy. You can also find faucet links in Soneium's official documentation.
* Soneium Docs: <https://docs.soneium.org/docs/builders/tools/faucets>
* Chainlink Faucet: <https://faucets.chain.link/sepolia>
* Alchemy Faucet: <https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/ethereum-sepolia>

#### **2) Bridge Sepolia ETH to Minato**

* Once you have Sepolia ETH, use the [Soneium Bridge](https://bridge.soneium.org/en/testnet) to transfer it to the Minato network.
* For more details, check the [Soneium Bridging Guide](https://docs.soneium.org/docs/users/bridging).

## 3. Claim Test Tokens

#### **1) Access the Faucet Page**

#### **2) Claim Test Tokens**

* You can claim once per day.
* Resets at 00:00 UTC.

#### **3) Confirm in Wallet**

#### **4) Check Tokens in Your Wallet**
