# Getting Started

## 1.Choosing a Wallet

To get started with Private Finance, the first thing you’ll need is to set up a wallet that supports Conflux eSpace. We recommend using one of the supported wallets for interacting with Private Finance.

Supported Wallets

Private Finance currently supports [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), [Fluent Wallet](https://fluentwallet.com/), [Wallet Connect](https://walletconnect.com/), and [Token Pocket](https://www.tokenpocket.pro/).

You can also user your Ledger device with Private Finance through MetaMask or Wallet Connect. Refer to Using Your Ledger Hardware Wallet with Private Finance to learn how.

## 2.Connecting Your Wallet to Conflux eSpace

If you want to use Fluent instead of MetaMask, you can skip this section. Fluent has a connection to Conflux eSpace by default.

 Now that you installed , let's connect it to Conflux eSpace.

To connect MetaMask to Conflux eSpace: Open [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/). Go to the Networks drop-down menu and click Add Network.

New RPC URL: **<https://evm.confluxrpc.com>** (or **<https://evmtestnet.confluxrpc.com>** for testnet)

Chain ID: 1030 (or 71 for testnet)

Currency Symbol: CFX

Block Explorer: **<https://evm.confluxscan.net>** (or **<https://evmtestnet.confluxscan.net>** for testnet)

&#x20;Verify that the data you entered is correct and click Save.

Now, let's go ahead and fund your wallet.

## 3.Getting CFX in Conflux eSpace

CFX is the native currency in Conflux eSpace. To use Private Finance, you'll need CFX to pay for gas transactions.

To use Private Finance, you'll first need to fund your eSpace wallet with CFX in order to pay for gas transactions.

There are multiple ways to get in CFX in Conflux eSpace:

&#x20;   . Transferring eSpace CFX from KuCoin to MetaMask

&#x20;   . Transferring eSpace CFX from Gate.io to MetaMask

&#x20;   . Bridging Assets From Conflux Core with Multichain

Once you fund your wallet, you can proceed to bridge other assets to Conflux eSpace.
