Hello everyone.
Now we will get acquainted with Figment and try to execute Avalanche Pathway without errors.

I already received my award, it was easy ;)

First, we need to register an account on Datahub.
After registration, select the Avalanche protocol. On the page we will see our API key (we will need it later), tutorials and 5 tasks, by completing which we will receive a reward.

To start executing, press the “Start” button, you will be automatically redirected to a page with instructions for implementation.

But before we start, we need a development environment and a couple more programs to successfully execute the code.

You can complete all tasks on Windows or Linux.

First program is Visual Studio Code. In it we will run our code.
Download the latest version — code.visualstudio.com/Download

Node JS. Without this software, we cannot connect to our node.
Download — nodejs.org

And the last software is Git. Just download — gitforwindows.org

Everything is almost ready!
Next, run PowerShell on Windows.
Be sure to run as administrator!

Well. Enter 3 commands:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Get-ExecutionPolicy

After all the steps, you need to restart your computer.

Start doing tasks

I will not explain every action. For this, there are video tutorials from Figment and a full-fledged article with step-by-step analysis.

Video tutorials from Figment about Avalanche Pathway on YouTube.

On the main page of Avalanche on Datahub 5 tasks. Figment has official articles.

Launch Visual Studio Code and create a folder with any name, for example “Aavalanche Pathway”.

To complete 1 task, read this guide:

To complete 2 task, read this guide:

To complete 3 task, read this guide:

To complete 4 task, read this guide:

To complete 5 task, read this guide:
Learn how to perform token transfers between Avalanche X-Chain and P-Chain.

All 5 tasks are very easy to complete, if you make a mistake, I advise you to watch the video lesson.

When you have completed all the tasks you will have a button “Submit to Earn”.
You can create Avalanche wallet here — wallet.avax.network/create

Attention! To receive a payment, you need to confirm the phone number and complete verification in BrightID.

BrightID

Figment administrators have introduced mandatory verification to receive payments because of the wave of multi-accounts.

To pass verification, it is enough just to appear on one of the Connection Party. The organizer will ask you to open the BrightID on your phone and scan the QR code.
Find out the nearest Connection Party — meet.brightid.org

Congratulations, you have completed the Avalanche Pathway!

The payment will come to you next Friday.
