# Getting Started with Sei Network: User Quick Start Guide

> Comprehensive guide to Getting Started with Sei Network: User Quick Start Guide on Sei. Learn key concepts, commands, and best practices.

This getting started guide will help you set up your wallet and start using Sei, even if you're new to blockchain. By the end, you'll be ready to explore the most performant blockchain ever.

## 1. Get a Wallet

Download a compatible wallet such as [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), [Rabby](https://rabby.io/), [Binance Wallet](https://www.binance.com/en/web3wallet), or any other [supported wallet](/learn/wallets).

## 2. Set Up and "Associate" Your Wallet

Making a transaction will broadcast your public key to the chain, allowing full cross-environment functionality. If your wallet is not "associated" it means that the network is not aware that your key exists, and therefore it cannot be determined which two addresses are actually the same wallet due to the cryptographic algorithm by which the EVM wallet address is derived from the key(s).
