# Get started with Tavchain

> Connect a wallet, get Test TAV and make your first transaction.

Start building on Tavchain by connecting a wallet, getting Test TAV and making your first transaction. Use an EVM wallet that supports custom networks and the public RPC endpoint; no node installation is needed.

**1. Connect your wallet**

[Add Tavchain Testnet](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/connect.md), chain ID **771002**, and select it in your wallet.

**2. Get Test TAV**

Copy your public `0x` address into the [faucet](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/faucet.md) and complete the challenge. The faucet provides **1 Test TAV per address per 24 hours**.

**3. Send a transfer**

Follow [Send your first transfer](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/first-transfer.md). Review the network, recipient, amount and fee before signing.

**4. Check the result**

Open the transaction hash in the [explorer](https://explorer.tavchain.safeney.com/) and check that it succeeded.

## Build next

[Build with an AI assistant](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/ai-tools.md) using the public Tavchain Docs MCP connection.

Keep secrets in your wallet. Test TAV has no monetary value. See [Troubleshooting](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/troubleshooting.md) if a network, faucet or transaction step fails.
