To work with Tezos, you need a wallet, which is an application that maintains your accounts and signs Tezos transactions on your behalf.

Desktop wallets for Tezos include [Kukai](https://wallet.kukai.app/) and [Umami](https://umamiwallet.com/).

Tezos also supports the [MetaMask wallet](https://metamask.io/), but only its browser extension, and only on Mainnet.
Follow these steps to enable Tezos in MetaMask:

1. Install the MetaMask browser extension.
1. Go to https://metamask.tezos.com.
1. Click **Connect with MetaMask**.
1. Approve the installation of the Tezos snap in MetaMask.

Now you can connect to Tezos dApps with MetaMask.
When a web application shows the Beacon window to connect your wallet, you can select MetaMask.
The page sends you to https://metamask.tezos.com to approve and manage the connection.

For more information about using MetaMask with Tezos, see [MetaMask Now Supports Tezos: An Explainer](https://spotlight.tezos.com/metamask-now-supports-tezos-an-explainer/).

## Switching the wallet to a testnet

If you're doing development work, you're probably using a testnet instead of Mainnet.
