  3. Superchain Faucet — Works for Base Sepolia

Getting Testnet ELTA

To get testnet ELTA tokens for launching your app:
  1. Follow @elata_bio on X/Twitter
  2. Post or DM us with your wallet address requesting testnet ELTA
  3. We’ll send you tokens within 24 hours
Testnet tokens have no monetary value. They’re for testing the app launch flow before mainnet.

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

  1. Go to app.elata.bio/launch
  2. Click “Connect Wallet” in the header
  3. Select your wallet provider
  4. Approve the connection
Make sure you’re connected to Base Sepolia network (Chain ID: 84532). The app will prompt you to switch if needed.

Step 2: Fill in App Details

App Name

Choose a memorable name for your application:
  • 3-50 characters
  • Will be displayed in the App Store
  • Cannot be changed after launch
Good examples: NeuroPong, FocusFlow, BrainWave Trainer

Token Symbol

Your token’s ticker symbol:
  • 2-10 characters
  • Uppercase letters and numbers only
  • Will appear as $SYMBOL in trading
Good examples: NPONG, FOCUS, BWT

Description

Explain what your app does:
  • Up to 1,000 characters
  • Be specific about features and benefits
  • This appears on your app’s detail page

App Image

Upload a square image:
  • Recommended: 512x512 pixels
  • Formats: PNG, JPG, SVG
  • Max size: 5MB
  • This becomes your app’s icon

Step 3: Approve ELTA

Before creating your app, you need to approve the ELTA spending:
  1. Click “Approve ELTA” button
  2. Your wallet will show an approval request for 110 ELTA
  3. Confirm the transaction
  4. Wait for confirmation (~2-5 seconds on Base)
This is a standard ERC-20 approval. You’re authorizing the contract to transfer exactly 110 ELTA.

Step 4: Create Your App

Once approved:
  1. Click “Launch App” button
  2. Confirm the transaction in your wallet
  3. Wait for the transaction to be mined
  4. You’ll be redirected to your new app’s page
The transaction creates:
  • Your app token (1 billion supply)
  • Bonding curve for trading
  • Staking vault for rewards
  • Your 50% allocation (auto-staked)

Step 5: Upload Your Game

Your app page is live, but you need to upload your actual application:
  1. On your app’s detail page, scroll to “Creator Console”
  2. Find the “Upload / Replace Game” section
  3. Drag and drop your game folder (must contain index.html)
  4. Wait for upload to complete

Game Requirements

Your game/app must:
  • Have an index.html file at the root
  • Be self-contained (all assets included)
  • Work in an iframe context

Supported Technologies

  • Vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript
  • React, Vue, Svelte (compiled)

  • Check transaction on Basescan
  • Try increasing gas price
  • Clear wallet cache and reconnect
Requirements:
  • Must have index.html at root
  • Max ~50MB total size
  • No server-side code (static files only)
Solution: Verify folder structure, compress assets if needed
After creation, apps may take a few minutes to index:
