# Creating CryptoKylin Account

Setting up a Kylin testnet account can sometimes be more an art than a science.  If you have any issues please reach out to us.

## **Free Account**

Create account using: <https://faucet.eosnation.io/docs>

{% hint style="warning" %}
Test accounts can only contain the characters a-z (lowercase), 1-5 and they **must be 12 characters.**
{% endhint %}

Example (change account name and public key):

{% hint style="info" %}
Below you'll see how to create a keypair
{% endhint %}

```bash
curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://faucet.eosnation.io/api/create?chain=kylin&account=heliosselene&key=EOS7npyU3nxstq9HumfSCVcmsFQxcy2cXtHhWMhXsPWAJWVtR9g9d' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -d ''
```

{% hint style="info" %}
If that guy is giving you flack, try this guy: <https://testnet-tools.eosargentina.io/kylin>
{% endhint %}

## **Get Free tokens**

Get 100 free EOS tokens / 24 hours

Example:

```bash
curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://faucet.eosnation.io/api/send?chain=kylin&to=heliosselene' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -d ''
```

## Get DAPP Tokens

Enter your account here: <https://kylin-dapp-faucet.liquidapps.io/>

## Setup Account

The following guide walks you through setting up an account, creating an EOSIO wallet with `keosd`, importing the private keys, buying RAM for your account, and staking EOS for CPU/NET so you can run transactions.

### Setup

```bash
# must be EOSIO account name format
# 12 characters a-z lowercase 1-5
export KYLIN_ACCOUNT=yourtestaccount

# Configure endpoint
export KYLIN_ENDPOINT=https://kylin.eosn.io

# Create wallet
cleos wallet create --file wallet_password.pwd
```

### Create account

Below we will create a public/private key pair.

```bash
curl http://faucet-kylin.blockzone.net/create/$KYLIN_ACCOUNT > keys.json
export ACTIVE_PRIVATE_KEY=`cat keys.json | jq -e '.data.account.active.privateKey'`
export OWNER_PRIVATE_KEY=`cat keys.json | jq -e '.data.account.owner.privateKey'`

# import keys
zeus key import $KYLIN_ACCOUNT --owner-private-key $OWNER_PRIVATE_KEY --active-private-key $ACTIVE_PRIVATE_KEY --network=kylin
cleos wallet import --private-key $ACTIVE_PRIVATE_KEY
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
Be sure to save your wallet password!
{% endhint %}

## Buy RAM, Stake CPU/NET

Now we will buy RAM so that we can deploy a smart contract, and we stake EOS for CPU/NET so that we can run transactions.

```bash
# below amounts use 1000 EOS total
cleos -u $KYLIN_ENDPOINT system delegatebw $KYLIN_ACCOUNT $KYLIN_ACCOUNT "50.0000 EOS" "350.0000 EOS" -p $KYLIN_ACCOUNT@active
cleos -u $KYLIN_ENDPOINT system buyram $KYLIN_ACCOUNT $KYLIN_ACCOUNT "600.0000 EOS" -p $KYLIN_ACCOUNT@active
```

## Set eosio.code permission

`eosio.code` allows a smart contract to sign actions itself, we will set this up under the `active` permission level.

```bash
cleos -u $KYLIN_ENDPOINT set account permission $KYLIN_ACCOUNT active $KYLIN_ACCOUNT --add-code
```
