# Connect Wallet to Explorer App

Connect your wallet to the KII interactive explorer and start staking.

### Step 1: Make sure you have installed the MetaMask or Keplr browser extension.

Go to Metamask.io and download and install the web extension browser. Make sure the web extension is from [MetaMask](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn?pli=1) or [Keplr](https://www.keplr.app/). During testnet, if you do not have MetaMask installed first, you will receive this error.

### Step 2: Launch the Explorer App and Connect your Wallet to Testnet Oro.

Go to [https://explorer.kiichain.io](https://app.kiiglobal.io/) and make sure you are connected to the "Testnet Oro" network by selecting the dropdown in the top right.

For setting up a web wallet, see "[Set Up a Web Wallet](https://docs.kiiglobal.io/docs/getting-started/set-up-a-web-wallet)". Once your wallet has been created, you can link it to the explorer app by clicking the wallet icon in the top right corner.

If you have the MetaMask extension installed in your web browser, it should automatically connect the RPC endpoints.

It will then ask for approval to switch the network from Ethereum (default) to Kiichain Testnet. Click the "Switch Network" button.

Following, it will ask to link with your new wallet address. Click "Next".

Lastly, it will ask for wallet permissions. Click on "Confirm".

Awesome! Your wallet is now connected to the explorer app! Deposit testnet tokens in your address to delegate to the validator.

### Step 3: Get testnet tokens.

Testnet tokens can be found on the faucet page in the explorer or requested in the discord. For more information, see here: [Testnet Faucet Commands](https://docs.kiiglobal.io/docs/validate-the-network/run-a-validator-full-node/testnet-faucet).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.kiiglobal.io/docs/learn/getting-started/connect-wallet-to-explorer-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
