# Getting Started

This guide takes you from an empty wallet to your first swap.\
It currently uses the GIWA Sepolia testnet and test assets, so no real funds are involved.

## 1. Open Osige and connect your wallet

Go to [osige.exchange](https://osige.exchange), select **Connect Wallet**, and approve the connection in an EVM-compatible wallet such as MetaMask.

## 2. Switch to GIWA Sepolia

Osige Testnet runs on GIWA Sepolia.\
Follow the network prompt in the app or add the network manually with these values:

| Item            | Value                              |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Network name    | GIWA Sepolia                       |
| Chain ID        | `91342`                            |
| Currency symbol | `ETH`                              |
| Public RPC      | `https://sepolia-rpc.giwa.io`      |
| Explorer        | `https://sepolia-explorer.giwa.io` |

These values are based on the [official GIWA connection guide](https://docs.giwa.io/giwa-chain/en/get-started/connect-to-giwa).

## 3. Get gas and test assets

You need two types of test assets:

* **Testnet ETH for gas:** Get it from the [official GIWA Faucet](https://faucet.giwa.io/). Every GIWA Sepolia transaction requires a small amount of ETH for gas.
* **Osige test tokens for trading:** On the [Osige Faucet page](https://osige.exchange/faucet), select **Claim all test assets**. This gives you the full test-token bundle in one transaction. Each wallet has a 24-hour cooldown.

{% hint style="info" %}
Test tokens and the markets created with them are for demonstration.\
GIWA Sepolia balances, prices, and rankings have no monetary value.
{% endhint %}

## 4. Make your first swap

1. Open [Trade](https://osige.exchange/trade).
2. Select the token you will pay and the token you will receive.
3. Enter an amount and wait for a quote.
4. Review the quoted output, route, fees, minimum received, and price impact.
5. If your wallet requests it, approve the input token first. This is a separate permission transaction.
6. Select **Swap**, carefully read the wallet prompt, and confirm.
7. Wait for confirmation. Verify the final result in the [GIWA Explorer](https://sepolia-explorer.giwa.io).

For the complete swap guide, including routing, slippage, price impact, charts, and workspace panels, see [Swap](/osige-docs/trading/swap.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://osige.gitbook.io/osige-docs/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
