  • Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your wallet.

Step 2: Connect to Bitcoin Testnet4 (Beta)

  • Open your UniSat wallet.

  • Ensure your wallet is configured to connect to the “Bitcoin Testnet4 (Beta)” network. This is found in the network selection dropdown named “Bitcoin” within the wallet interface.

Step 3: Obtain tbTC from a Faucet

  • Navigate to one of the following faucets to claim testnet Bitcoin (tbTC):

  • Enter your UniSat wallet’s Bitcoin Testnet4 address and follow the faucet’s instructions to receive tbTC.

Step 4: Go to the Atlas Protocol Testnet Application

Step 5: Connect your UniSat wallet

  • On the Atlas Protocol Testnet app, click either the “Connect to BTC testnet4 network” or the “Connect Wallet” button.

  • In the pop-up window that appears, click “Connect to BTC testnet4 network”.

  • A prompt will appear from your UniSat wallet. Click “Connect” to authorize the connection

Step 6: Initiate Staking

  • In the “Amount” field, enter the amount of tbTC you wish to stake (the minimum amount is 0.0002 tbTC).

  • Important, please make sure your wallet holds enough extra tBTC to cover gas fees, otherwise, you’ll encounter errors (example: if your wallet holds 0.0003 tBTC, you should only enter 0.0002 to leave enough room for gas fees).

Step 7: Select Receiving Chain

  • For this example, we’re going to select NEAR testnet

  • In the “Select Receiving Chain” dropdown menu, choose “NEAR testnet”.

Step 8: Set up a NEAR wallet (using Meteor)

  • To receive atBTC on NEAR, you’ll need a NEAR testnet wallet. We’ll use Meteor Wallet for this guide.

  • Click the “MAIN” button in the top-right corner and select “Testnet” from the dropdown.

  • Claim your identity (use the generated address or create a custom one).

  • Click “Create Wallet” and follow the instructions.

  • Once your wallet is created, copy your NEAR testnet address (e.g., Atlas1234.testnet).

Step 9: Enter Receiving Address and Stake

  • Enter your NEAR wallet .testnet address in the “Enter Receiving Address” field and select the “Review” button.

  • In the pop-up window, click “Stake”

  • Sign the transaction in your UniSat wallet pop-up.

Step 10: Verify your atBTC

  • Once you see the success message, the transaction may take some time to process.

  • Important: Transactions can take 1–2 hours to confirm due to Bitcoin Testnet4 block times. You can check the ETA by clicking the “View on Block Explorer” link in the success pop-up window.

  • Confirm your atBTC:

  • Check your Meteor wallet

  • ✅ Confirmation: You will see “atBTC Minted” under Staking History in the dashboard.
