Install MetaMask:

1. Download and install the MetaMask extension from the Chrome Web Store.

2. Create or import a wallet:

   • If you’re new to MetaMask, create a wallet by following the on-screen prompts.

3. Click Save to add the test network.

4. A success message will prompt you to switch to the new network. Switch to the ZKsync Sepolia Testnet to begin testing your applications in a safe environment.

Once connected, you’ll be able to interact with txSync for transactions and development.
