Fuel is a modular execution layer for blockchains that can provide high throughput for scaling blockchain applications.

Fuel has currently launched on testnet, where you can install a wallet and play around with it.

The fuel wallet is available as forc-wallet and can be installed from the command line.

The first step is to install the forc-wallet using cargo, and create a wallet.

You can open Terminal and execute these commands:

cargo install forc-wallet
forc-wallet init

Now, the new wallet is being created and you have to provide a password to encrypt the private key.

In the next step, the wallet will show your mnemonic phrase private key. Make a copy of it and save it securely.

This wallet can now have multiple addresses. To get a list of addresses in the wallet, the command is

forc-wallet list

However on executing this, the list will be blank as we dont have an address created. So to create a new address, please run

forc-wallet new

This command will create a new address in your wallet. You need to provide the password you had used earlier to set up the wallet.

You can also run this multiple times to create more wallets in the index order.

Now if you run forc-wallet list you can see the list of addresses in the wallet.

Now, you can use these addresses to recieve some coins from the testnet faucet. The faucet can be found at:

Open the faucet, and enter the wallet address which begins with “fuel”. Then click on “Give Me Ether” and the faucet will send you some testnet coins.

Finally, you can enter your wallet address into the testnet explorer to find the transaction:
