# Testnet tutorial : How to use Lend?

Upon landing on <https://app.lend.xyz>, you’ll arrive directly on **Lend’s testnet app**.\
You can browse freely without connecting, but to access full features especially the dashboard, it’s recommended to connect your wallet or log in via email or Google. That way, you’ll get the full experience of how Lend works on-chain.

Click on **“Continue with a wallet”** and follow the standard wallet connection flow using your Chrome-integrated wallet (e.g. Rabby, MetaMask...).

Click on **“Rabby Wallet”** or whichever wallet you usually use.\
If you don’t have one yet, we recommend installing the [**Rabby Chrome extension**](https://rabby.io/) to get started.

> ⚠️ For users with the Metamask wallet, please **note that the default RPC for Sepolia can create issues. Please click on the network tab, browse to Sepolia and edit the RPC to add** [**https://sepolia.drpc.org**](https://sepolia.drpc.org) **which is a working RPC.**

Click **“Connect”** in the wallet extension pop-up that appears to proceed with the connection.

Congrats! You're now connected.\
Next, you'll need some **Sepolia testnet ETH** to start interacting with the app.\
To get it, click on **“Faucet”** at the top of the screen, you’ll be redirected to Discord.

In the **“Faucet”** channel you land on, type the command `/claim space` followed by your **ETH address**, then hit Enter.\
The bot will automatically send you some Sepolia testnet ETH within a few minutes.\
You can verify the transaction by pasting your address here: <https://sepolia.etherscan.io/>

After clicking on **“Operations”** just below, you’ll see the full list of projects available on the app.\
Click on the project of your choice to access its details.

Click on the **“Invest”** button to proceed with the investment flow.

Enter the amount you want to invest, then click **“Next”** to continue.

Select **Ethereum Sepolia** to ensure you're using the correct testnet.

Click **“Invest”** to confirm your transaction and complete the purchase.\
Then confirm the transaction in your wallet to finalize the investment.

Well done. You’ll now see the amount of **opLend** you’ve received, along with its equivalent value in USD, directly displayed in your wallet interface.

You can now navigate to your **dashboard** to view all your investments, estimate your returns, and track your full investment history.\ <mark style="color:red;">This step may take a few minutes to appear on your dashboard due to testnet constraints. This won’t be the case on mainnet!</mark>

Once your investment is completed, you'll be able to **claim** the returns from your real estate asset directly from the dashboard. You’ll also have the option to **claim all** in a single click.\
Yields are distributed every Wednesday.
