  1. Click on the white arrow icon to open your TronLink wallet and you will be asked to create a new wallet. Follow the steps carefully and save your password and recovery codes in a safe place.
  1. Once Logged in you will automatically be on the TRON Mainnet, To change Networks click the networks dropdown in the middle at the top.
  1. The 'Networks' tab will open, click TRON Nile Testnet.
  1. You are now on the Nile TestNet, as shown by the 'TRON Nile Testnet' at the top.

Adding TRON to your wallet

  1. First you will need to add testnet Tron to your Tronlink. This is to activate your Tronlink account.
    Head to https://nileex.io/join/getJoinPage > this is a faucet you can use to receive 2000 test Tron to your wallet.
    Enter your tronlink wallet address.

Adding BVNK USDT TRC20

  1. To add USDT TRC20 tokens to your TronLink wallet, you need to import the tokens created by BVNK by adding the smart contract to your wallet. Head to https://nile.tronscan.org/ and ensure your Tronlink wallet is connected.
    Select "connect wallet" on the top right.

  2. Once your Tronlink wallet is connected, add this contract address to the search bar: TY1DBj7Ys1bDcK37kwATaQpHxdTCnYrr1f

  3. You will see Token called LAYER1 - this is our BVNK test USDT token that can be used as USDT TRC20.
    Select this token followed by "contract" and "write contract"

  4. After selecting "write contract" there will be a number of functions displayed.
    Select MINT (number 4 on that list) and enter the amount of tokens you would like to receive.
    I would recommend 50000 tokens.
    Select Send.

  5. Once the transaction has gone through > open your Tronlink app and select the "+" next to "Assets"

  6. Now select LAYER 1 from this list.

  7. You now have BVNK LAYER 1 (USDT TRC20) Testnet tokens that can be used in transactions via API and the BVNK portal for both payments in and out.
