# 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.

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.
