# Setting up a Testnet account

**To set up your Phron Testnet account, you’ll need two key components:**

1. [**Testnet Wallet/Explorer:**](https://phron.ai/wallet) This is where you can create your account, deploy smart contracts, and interact with them.
2. [**Testnet Faucet:**](https://faucet.phron.ai/) Here, you can receive free TPHR tokens, which are necessary for interacting with the Phron Testnet and experimenting with smart contract development.

**The steps are straightforward:**

1. **Create an Account:** Open the "Accounts" tab in the Testnet wallet and follow the on-screen instructions to add a new account.
2. **Receive Testnet Tokens:** Use the [Testnet Faucet](https://faucet.phron.ai/) to get free TPHR tokens. Simply copy your new account address and paste it into the Faucet. Your TPHR tokens will be available almost instantly—likely before you even switch back to the explorer to check!
