# 🧩 Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

First things first — head over to the TrancheVest testnet dApp and connect your wallet.

As soon as you're connected, the platform checks if you’re on the **Base Sepolia testnet**.\
Not there yet? No problem — the dApp will automatically guide you through switching or adding the right network configuration. Easy peasy!
