{% hint style="success" %}
Note : You will get Miner address when you generate during setup on your vps
{% endhint %}

## Getting ETH on ARB Sepolia

1. Firstly you need to bridge ETH Mainnet -> ETH Sepolia. [***here***](https://testnetbridge.com/sepolia)

1. Then, you should bridge ETH Testnet from Sepolia -> ARB Sepolia. [***here***](https://bridge.arbitrum.io/?amount=1\&destinationChain=arbitrum-sepolia\&sourceChain=sepolia)

1. Send your ETH on ARB Sepolia to your Miner Address.

{% hint style="success" %}
Note : \
1\. Use L2 ETH to bridge for cheaper gas fee

2\. You will get Miner address when you generate during setup on your vps
{% endhint %}

## Setup your own RPC

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.logosnodos.online/testnet-node/cortensor/staking-and-funding.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
