How to Get Started on Clovis Testnet
Clovis is designed to act as a cross-chain hub for assets, helping position liquidity across supported networks so funds can access the strongest opportunities without manual bridging.
Instead of moving funds between chains yourself, Clovis vaults demonstrate how liquidity can flow across networks over time. For example, opportunities for an asset may shift from one chain to another, and vault funds can be positioned accordingly.
Because of this design, assets may not always remain on the original chain you deposited from. When withdrawing, you can choose to withdraw on the chain where your assets currently reside, select a different supported destination chain, or bridge assets manually if you prefer.
This guide walks you through the steps to start using Clovis, from connecting your wallet to depositing and bridging assets.
By the end, you’ll have testnet assets and be able to explore Clovis features across supported chains.
💡 This process only takes a few minutes and uses testnet assets.
1. Connect Your Wallet
Open Clovis testnet and connect a supported wallet.
Recommended: OKX, MetaMask, or Rabby Wallet (auto-detects tokens and provides a smoother testnet experience)
2. Get Testnet Gas and Stables
Before interacting with Clovis, you will need testnet gas and stablecoins.
Refer to the Faucet guide for step-by-step instructions:
3. Deposit Into a Vault
Vaults allow you to deposit stablecoins to demonstrate earning yield and test how funds move within Clovis.
Navigate to the vault page
Select a supported stablecoin

Approve and confirm the transaction
After depositing, you can view your position in the Portfolio tab, where all active deposits are displayed.
3.1 Bridge From Another Chain (Optional)
If your assets are on another supported chain, you can use the bridge to move them before depositing.
Bridging lets you demonstrate how Clovis moves liquidity across supported networks and understand cross-chain asset movement within vault strategies.
Navigate to the Bridge page
Select source and destination chain
Enter the amount
Approve and confirm the transaction
You can track the status of your bridge in the Transaction tab, which shows history, timestamps, and status updates.
4. Check Your Portfolio
After depositing, you can monitor your positions in the Portfolio tab.
The Portfolio page displays all active deposits and vault positions associated with your wallet.
You can use this page to:
View your current vault positions
Monitor deposited asset balances
Track where your assets are currently located across supported chains.
FAQ
Do I Need Real Funds to Test Clovis?

Why Can’t I Deposit Into a Vault?
This is usually caused by:
Missing testnet gas for the transaction
Insufficient stablecoin balance
Token approval not completed
Wallet connected to the wrong network
Make sure you have claimed testnet stables and approved the token before depositing.
Why Can’t I Bridge Assets?
Bridge issues may occur due to:
Missing testnet gas on the source chain
Wallet connected to the wrong source or destination network

How Long Do Deposits or Bridges Take?
Most transactions should complete within seconds to a few minutes, depending on network conditions.
