Funding Wallet in Test/FutureNet

In order to use the RAMM v0 to test the prototype, you will need to fund the wallet you installed with test XLM and test USDC, as the testing is done on the blockchain and although it is in test, the transactions are executed on-chain.
To fund the wallet with XLM for fees, you can use the friendbot to get test XLM in the wallet. If you click the Freighter Wallet shortcut you added to your browser, you will see there is an option to "Fund with Friendbot" if you have properly selected the TestNet or FutureNet network. If you click this option and follow the prompts, your wallet will be credited with ample test XLM to create test campaigns and transactions and pay the signing blockchain fees associated therewith.
You will also need to fund your wallet with test USDC. This test USDC on the v0 prototype is not the actual Circle USDC contract in the test networks, but an alternative test USDC that RAMM created to test this prototype, as there was no Stellar USDC test on FutureNet. In order to fund with some of this test USDC, we have created an option at the top of the page called "Send 10 USDC" (see image above). Click this option to have 10 USDC minted and credited to the wallet automatically. (note: if the link does not credit your wallet, please refresh the entire page in the browser and try clicking the link again).
Once the transaction successfully completes, you should get an alert on the page indicating the same:
And your wallet on the top right, once clicked, should display your USDC balance (note: in this image, the send 10 option had been executed twice):
Tip: when creating test campaigns, set prices very low (under $1, preferably) so you can execute multiple buys before running out of test USDC.
