# Keplr

Connect your Keplr wallet with Uptick

## Pre-requisite Readings

* [Install Keplr](https://www.keplr.app/)

The Keplr browser extension is a wallet for accessing applications in the Cosmos ecosystem and managing user identities. It can be used to connect to Uptick through the official testnet and request Funds from the Faucet.

## Install Keplr

Add the Keplr browser extension following the instructions on the [Keplr website](https://www.keplr.app/). The Keplr extension is officially supported only on Chromium-based explorers.

## Create/Import Account

Open the Keplr extension on your browser. If you are setting up Keplr for the first time, you can either create a new account or import an existing account. Refer to the [Keplr documentation](https://keplr.crunch.help/getting-started) for further information.

## Connect to Uptick Testnet and Request Funds from the Faucet

Once you are signed in to the Keplr extension, visit the [Faucet](https://faucet.uptick.org/) and click the `Request Funds with Keplr` button. Then approve the both following pop ups `Chain Add Request` and `Request Connection` to add the Uptick testnet chain (`uptick_7000-2`) to Keplr and approve the connection.

After approval, you can see a transaction confirmation informing you that auoc have been successfully transferred to your [uptick address](../../../concepts/basics/accounts#address-formats-for-clients) on the testnet (only `secp256k1` addresses are supported).

{% hint style="info" %}
You can request Uptick from the [Faucet](https://github.com/UptickNetwork/docs/blob/main/uptick-network-documentation/testnet/faucet.md) for each address only once every 24h. If you try to request multiple times within the 24h cooldown phase, no transaction will be initiated. Please try again in 24 hours.
{% endhint %}

View your account balance either by clicking on the Keplr extension or by [interacting with the node](../quickstart/interact_node). Note that Faucet might not display the amount of auoc transferred by the Faucet, as it might be smaller than the number of decimals displayed in the Keplr extension.
