# Initial Setup

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note, right now only the **Sepolia** network is fully operational.
{% endhint %}

## 1. Wallet setup

First, ensure that you have a compatible wallet installed. We recommend MetaMask, as it already has the Sepolia testnet pre-installed, but any wallet that supports the Sepolia network is good to use. If you don't have Metamask, follow [this link](https://metamask.io/) to install it.

## 2. Network Selection & ETH collection

If you don't have Sepolia enabled by default, follow the configurations below:

* **Network Name** - Sepolia Testnet
* **New RPC URL** - <https://rpc.sepolia.org>
* **Chain ID** - 11155111
* **Currency Symbol** - SepoliaETH
* **Block explorer URL** - <https://sepolia.etherscan.io/>

The next step is to collect some Sepolia ETH.

The easiest way is to register at alchemy and claim daily 0.5 ETH by providing your ERC20 wallet.

<https://www.alchemy.com/faucets/ethereum-sepolia>

Other ways are following faucets, which will give you a great backbone for testing:

Make sure to collect enough, as there are time limits on the faucets, use the weekend to accumulate as much as possible!

## 3. Connect your wallet to the application

Once your wallet is set up with the necessary test tokens, connect it to the Frictionless Network application site at [beta.frictionless.network](https://beta.frictionless.network).&#x20;

If you are lacking any tokens (e.g. FRIC) test tokens you can use the platform to swap them for your Sepolia ETH.
