Add tutorial "How to create a new account/address and receive funds from the faucet"

Open adrian-grassl opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Description of change

Following the idea from @jlvandenhout in this comment, I created a separate Node JS tutorial, which explains the whole process to get an address with funds on the Shimmer testnet. This tutorial will serve as a prerequisite to follow-up tutorials, such as how to create an NFT or native tokens.

The following steps are covered:

  • Create mnemonic seed phrase
  • Create Stronghold account with wallet.rs
  • Generate new address
  • Receive tokens from faucet (Both via website and API)
  • Check balance

PS: The code block syntax highlighting for JSON looks normal in the rendered wiki and not as horrible as here on github.

Should we also add a new thumbnail here like this?
