# 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.

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.**
