In [part 1](https://dev.to/isaactdozier/lets-build-a-dapp-with-nodejs-and-koinos-pro-part-1-generate-api-key-2h79) we created a Koinos Pro account and generated our API key. We also need a wallet to manage our assets on the blockchain.

There are a few wallets to choose from, but for this we will use Kondor (Browser Extension).

Find more wallet options at: [https://koinos.wiki/Applications#Wallets](https://koinos.wiki/Applications#Wallets)

**Go ahead and download the Konder Wallet, and be sure to keep your Seed Phrase secure. Anyone with this has access to your wallet!**

After you’ve set up your wallet, we need to get some **tKoin** to use on Testnet. This is a free resource we can get airdropped from Koinos Discord.

To do this, we’ll copy our public address located here:

![Kondor Wallet Public Address](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/436/1*sCWxrqPX7fG3z7difpu8Ng.png)

#### We don’t need to worry about switching the wallet to Testnet because it will be determined by the API endpoint we choose at [https://koinos.pro/](https://koinos.pro/). We are only using Kondor to create a wallet.

Now we need to go to discord faucet channel and request tKoin. Copy the command below and follow the link provided.

```
!faucet [your public key here]
```

**Go here:** [https://discord.com/channels/613823471679438898/860644240954359829](https://discord.com/channels/613823471679438898/860644240954359829)

![tKoin](https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*hY4iuBHQR4hso3SL0EGUhw.png)
_Paste the command with your public address_

#### You should see similar results to below.

To ensure funds were deposited, you can switch to Testnet for verification in Kondor Wallet.

#### In part 3 I will break down the basic elements of Koilib and how to prepare a transaction with Node.js. For now, I’ll leave you with a brief description and link to do your own research.

### Koilib

Koilib is fundamental when interacting with the Koinos Network and we will be following the example code at [https://joticajulian.github.io/koilib/](https://joticajulian.github.io/koilib/) in part 3.
