Setting up your first wallet (testnet) — Project — setup checklist

What to writeCreate a “first install” runbook you can follow under stress. Include: official download link, seed backup location, Sepolia network details (name + chain ID 11155111), faucet link, and explorer check steps.

Add a restore drillDescribe how you would restore and verify the address matches (first/last 4 characters). Note what you’ll do if the address differs (stop and re-check the seed words).

Install: bookmarked link → verify publisher → install
Seed: write words on paper (no photos); store in safe spot X
Testnet: enable “Show test networks” → select Sepolia (chain ID 11155111)
Faucet: request 0.1 testnet ETH → copy tx hash
Verify: open explorer → match address + amount + network
Restore drill: new profile → restore seed → confirm first/last 4 characters match

Write this so you could hand it to a friend or your future self and they would not have to guess. If you ever feel rushed, follow the runbook line by line instead of improvising. “Stop, verify URL, verify chain, verify address” is the safety mantra.
