TVVIN · Getting ready
Before you start
A quick checklist so your identity review and sandbox purchase go smoothly.
Testnet demonstration
Allow about 5–10 minutes
You will submit your identity with ID Circle, wait for review, then receive instructions to fund a testnet purchase. Review can take longer if more information is needed.
1. Have your Identity app ready
- Install or update the ID Circle Identity app.
- Make sure your identity wallet is unlocked.
- Keep your phone with you while the QR codes are shown.
- Use the same identity wallet throughout this journey.
The identity QR steps happen in ID Circle. TVVIN never receives your identity evidence.
2. Prepare an Ethereum wallet
You need a wallet you control to receive your TVGBP. Its address is required to start a purchase and cannot be changed once set. It is not your ID Circle wallet.
- MetaMask. Use an account that supports the network below.
- Kraken Wallet. The standalone Kraken Wallet app and its Ethereum-compatible address. This is not a Kraken exchange account.
- Another Ethereum wallet. Any EVM wallet that can receive the test token.
- Make sure you can unlock it and copy its public address (starts with 0x, 42 characters).
- Confirm it supports Ethereum Sepolia and the TVGBP test token.
- Use the same destination wallet throughout the purchase.
Important: never share a seed phrase, private key, password or recovery code with TVVIN, ID Circle or BIP Circle. Do not use an exchange deposit address unless the purchase instructions say to.
3. Prepare your documents
- A valid passport or identity credential in your Identity app.
- An AML report, generated in the app when asked.
- Proof of address, if the reviewer asks for it.
- Clear, readable documents with details that match your identity wallet.
Only upload documents inside the secure ID Circle experience.
4. Understand the stages
- Identity Scan, consent and verify with ID Circle.
- Review ID Circle checks the submission.
- Fund Use the sandbox payment reference provided.
- Mint and complete BIP Circle mints TVGBP and confirms the testnet transaction.
5. Know what to expect
- This is a controlled sandbox. No real money is used or moved.
- The token is TVGBP on Ethereum Sepolia.
- Review and blockchain confirmation can take a while.
- You get a journey reference and a resume link. Keep them if you need support.
