# Cardano - Vault

Before getting started with the Cardano Vault, ensure you have the following ready:

* **Cardano Wallet**: A Web3-compatible wallet like Nami is required to store funds and interact with the Cardano dApp.
* **Gas Fees**: Your wallet must have enough ADA to cover transaction costs, including deposits, withdrawals, and smart contract interactions. Gas fees vary based on network activity, so it's best to keep some extra Native tokens available.

**Cardano Preprod Testnet - Faucet**
