Signet in BTC (for Mobile)
In this article, we’ll guide you through setting up a Signet BTC wallet on your mobile device.
Signet is a Bitcoin test environment, similar to Testnet, but specifically designed for controlled and safe testing. It allows you to experiment without risking real BTC.
This guide is for iOS and Android users. For PC users, refer to the PC guide to get the BTC Signet address.
📖 What you will learn
set up the UniSat wallet in Signet mode
get Signet BTC for testing transactions
use Signet BTC with your Testnet TON wallet to mint tgBTC
📚 Before we begin
Make sure you have:
Testnet wallet in TON (e.g., Tonkeeper from our previous guide)
test Toncoins for use in the Testnet
🦄 Let's get started!
Download and install the UniSat Wallet app from Google Play for Android or the App Store for iOS.
Open the app and tap Get Started.
Tap Create New Wallet, set up a secure password, and check the box to agree to the Privacy Policy.
Write down the seed phrase displayed on the screen, as it is essential for wallet recovery. Confirm it by re-entering the seed phrase correctly.
Next, choose Native Segwit (P2WPKH) as the wallet type and tap Next.
Tap the Bitcoin logo in the top right corner to open the network selection menu. First, select Bitcoin Testnet and then switch to Bitcoin Signet.
You’ve successfully set up the Signet network in your UniSat wallet! Your Signet address should start with tb1q.... Copy this address to receive test BTC.
💸 How to get test BTC
Open the UniSat wallet app on your phone, tap the Receive button, and copy your Signet BTC receiving address.
There are multiple Signet faucets available where you can claim test BTC for the Signet network:
These websites allow you to claim test BTC for the Signet network.
Paste your copied address into the Address field, enter an amount between 0.00001 and 0.01 test BTC, and submit the form. The test BTC will be sent to your Electrum wallet, and the time it takes will depend on the current load on the BTC network.
To check if the BTC has arrived, open the Balance tab in UniSat Wallet. If there is a delay, use a blockchain explorer like Mempool Signet Explorer to check the transaction status.
💎 What's next?
Now that you've set up both your Testnet TON wallet and Signet BTC wallet, and received Test Toncoins and Signet BTC, you’re ready to mint your first tgBTC.
