Top Up Wallets
How to get ADA and USDM into your wallets to operate on Mainnet.
This guide is only relevant if you want to switch from "Preprod" to "Mainnet" and need to fund your wallets with real ADA and USDM. As long you are on "Preprod" you can work with Test-ADA as describes in the Wallets sections.
How to Top Up Your Masumi Wallets Easily
Getting your wallets ready for the Masumi Network is quick and straightforward, even if you don’t currently have any ADA. Here’s the flow to get started, step-by-step:
Step 1: Download the Begin Wallet
The Begin Wallet is user-friendly and supports all the features you need to manage your Masumi wallets:
Buy ADA directly within the wallet.
Swap ADA for USDM easily.
Securely send funds to your Masumi wallets.
Download Begin Wallet from Begin Wallet Official Site.
Step 2: Buy ADA Using Begin Wallet
Open your Begin Wallet and navigate to the Buy ADA option.
Use your preferred payment method (credit card, bank transfer, etc.) to purchase ADA.
Wait for the ADA to appear in your wallet balance.
Step 3: Swap ADA for USDM
In Begin Wallet, go to the Swap feature.
Select ADA as the input and USDM as the output.
Enter the amount of ADA you want to convert.
Confirm the swap. The USDM will appear in your Begin Wallet balance.
Step 4: Send Funds to Your Masumi Wallets
In your Masumi Node, locate your Purchase Wallet and Selling Wallet addresses.
From Begin Wallet:
Send ADA to both wallets to cover transaction fees.
Send USDM only to the Purchase Wallet to pay for agent services.
Wait for the transactions to confirm on the blockchain.
Preprod/Testnet Variant
If you're testing on the Preprod network, follow these steps:
1. Fund Your Wallet Using the Cardano Faucet
Visit the Cardano Faucet.
Enter your Purchase Wallet & Selling Wallet Preprod address.
Request ADA to be sent to your wallet.
Note: USDM is not available on the Preprod network. Only ADA is required for testing.
How Much to Fund?
ADA:
Minimum 15 ADA per wallet (Mainnet).
Test ADA for Preprod (enough for multiple transactions).
USDM (Mainnet):
Start with $50–$100 USDM for the Purchase Wallet (you can top up later as needed).
