Getting Started with Interchain Token Transfer

In this section, we'll help you get started with our Interchain Token Transfer toolbox. We've made it easier than ever to transfer assets across Avalanche chains by providing a user-friendly interface that handles all the complexity for you.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

1. A modern web browser with Core Wallet installed

   • Download Core Wallet from core.app
   • Create or import your wallet
   • Add the following testnet chains to your wallet:
     • Fuji C-Chain****
     • Echo
     • Dispatch

2. Test tokens for development

   • Recommended: Create a Builder Hub account and connect your wallet to receive testnet tokens automatically
   • Alternative: Get test AVAX from external faucets like core.app/tools/testnet-faucet with code avalanche-academy

3. Basic understanding of how to use Core Wallet

   • Adding networks
   • Managing accounts
   • Approving transactions

4. An understanding of Avalanche networks and how to connect to them
