# Getting Started with Sei Network: User Quick Start Guide

> Comprehensive guide to Getting Started with Sei Network: User Quick Start Guide on Sei. Learn key concepts, commands, and best practices.

This guide helps you set up your wallet and start using Sei, even if you are new to blockchain.

## 1. Get a wallet

Download a compatible wallet, such as [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), [Rabby](https://rabby.io/), [Binance Wallet](https://www.binance.com/en/web3wallet), or any other [supported wallet](/learn/wallets).

## 2. Set up and "associate" your wallet

Any transaction that you make broadcasts your public key to the chain. This gives your wallet full cross-environment functionality. If your wallet is not "associated", the network does not know that your key exists. A cryptographic algorithm derives the EVM wallet address from the key. Without the key, the network cannot tell which two addresses belong to the same wallet.

## 3. Get tokens

* [Bridge from another network](https://welcome.symph.ag)
* [Transfer from another account](https://dashboard.sei.io/transfer)
* [Use the faucet](/learn/faucet) (Sei Testnet only)
* Transfer from a centralized exchange (CEX) to your wallet address

<Warning>
  Check your CEX's guidelines to make sure that your transfers go smoothly. Withdrawals from a CEX typically do not need a memo, but deposits back to a CEX may need one.
</Warning>
