# Get Started

## Connect Your Wallet

If you do not already have a wallet, download the [Google Chrome web browser](https://www.google.com/chrome/) and the [Metamask wallet extension](https://metamask.io/). You can create a Metamask wallet by following the [Metamask guide](https://support.metamask.io/hc/en-us/articles/360015489531).

1. Visit the [Hyperdrive App](https://dev.hyperdrive.fi/earn) in your Chrome browser and connect your wallet.

2. After clicking Metamask, its extension should pop up. If the Metamask extension does not open, click on the Metamask icon in your extension bar.
3. Click **Connect** when prompted. This step lets Metamask know that this is a trusted site.
