Use the following faucet link to acquire Base Sepolia Eth (for gas fees), and Shinkai KAI tokens (for registering your identity) at no charge: https://faucet.shinkai.com/.

Open Shinkai Desktop and click on the Settings tab at the bottom left corner of the application.

In General, under the Shinkai identity field, you will find the link. Once clicked, it will open the Shinkai Identity Registration webpage (with your application’s keys automatically filled out for you).

On the webpage click Connect Wallet & choose the one you used to receive tokens at the faucet.

Once connected, you should see the following view:

In the input box, enter your desired name for your identity.

Once you’ve entered your desired name, proceed forward to the next step, where you will download a JSON file that backs up your application’s keys (node keys) which will be connected to your Shinkai Identity (the identity itself is tied to your wallet making everything secure/resettable). Proceed forward by confirming you’ve downloaded the JSON file, and you will now move forward with submitting the transaction on-chain.

Your wallet will pop-up and request to Confirm interaction with the smart contract. Once this is done, you should see a screen to Confirm staking your KAI tokens to register your identity.

Once the transaction confirms, you will have officially registered your first Shinkai Identity!

Your identity is an NFT which can be added to your wallet for easier tracking if you so desire.
