# Setting up a Testnet account

There are two components you need to use in order to set up Aleph Zero Testnet account: 

* [Testnet wallet/explorer](https://test.azero.dev/) where you can create an account and later deploy and interact with your smart contracts. 
* [Testnet Faucet](https://faucet.test.azero.dev/), where you can receive some free TZERO tokens that are needed to interact with Aleph Zero Testnet and experiment with smart contracts development.<br>

The required steps are simple:

* Open the [Accounts tab](https://test.azero.dev/#/accounts) of the Testnet wallet and add an account following the on-screen instructions.
* Use the [Testnet Faucet](https://faucet.test.azero.dev/) to receive coins for your newly created account - just copy your account address and paste it into the Faucet. Your TZERO will be available almost instantly - certainly before you can switch back to the tab with the explorer to check it :)
