User Guide: Pinnacle v0-Alpha Testnet

Introduction

This is a guide to buying fractional shares of RWA ERC1155 tokens representing DePIN assets on PinLink's Pinnacle RWA-Tokenized DePIN Marketplace on Sepolia Testnet. Remember that as the v0-alpha version is deployed on testnet, these are dummy assets for you to test out the user experience.

Before starting the below steps, make sure to head over to the $PIN faucet here to claim Sepolia $PIN that can be used on the current testnet version of the dApp.

Once you have your Sepolia $PIN use the following instructions to buy fractions of dummy assets on our RWA-Tokenized DePIN marketplace:

STEP 1: Head to alpha.pinlink.dev and click on “enter dApp” in top right hand corner.

STEP 2: Click “Connect” to connect your wallet and follow prompts that pop up in your wallet.

STEP 3: Click on the “Pinnacle” tab on the left hand side menu. Then select the asset you wish to buy a fractional share of and press “Buy Share”. (In example, below the AL3 ASIC MINER has been selected):

STEP 4: On the pop-up screen that comes up, select the amount of fractions you wish to buy and the price will be displayed. Click “Buy”:

Once PinLink is deployed on mainnet this will allow users to start earning passive income from DePIN assets without having to *physically* own or manage one themselves. The following guide explains how you do this.

For example, if you bought 1/8th of an RWA ERC1155 representing one of the GPUs or Miners on the PinLink marketplace, you would receive 1/8th of all profit generated by those DePin RWAs over time. You can view the total amount of fractions in the “Amount” section of the asset’s info on the Marketplace. So, for example if you buy 6 fractions and there are 10,000 in total, you will receive 6/10000 of the profit that the asset generated over time.

Remember that you will need to pay in $PIN tokens on Sepolia Testnet, so will need to get these from the faucet below, connecting your wallet and pressing write on function 1. claimTokens:

STEP 5: Congratulations! You have bought your fractional share on the testnet. Your proportional share of the dummy asset’s profits will be streamed to the wallet which you used to make the purchase in the form of Sepolia $PIN*.

*NOTE: Sepolia assets are not backed by mainnet assets, and hold no value, this is a deployment on testnet and works as a sandbox environment before real deployments on Mainnet occur.
