# Use Testnet

To be able to use the faucet and native bridge on Solana, you need to get [whitelisted](/start-building/get-whitelisted.md).

Lumio L2, now live on the Ethereum Sepolia Testnet, invites users and developers to start their journey.

**Important:** The L2 is designed to be compatible with both EVM RPC and Move VM RPC. This means it allows the use of EVM RPC for Move VM calls. However, at this stage, to interact with both supported VMs, users will need to use the Pontem Wallet as a unified solution, or two separate wallets (such as Petra and Metamask). These wallets must be connected to the appropriate RPCs to fully experience the integration of the two VMs.

### Pontem Wallet

**Both EVM & Move VM**

[Download & Install Pontem Wallet](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pontem-aptos-wallet/phkbamefinggmakgklpkljjmgibohnba)

This method of connection has been available since the release of **Pontem Wallet v2.5.4**. Be prepared to update the extension manually or wait for Chrome to update it automatically.

If you need to update wallet manually see the [following instruction](https://support.cloudhq.net/how-to-manually-update-chrome-extensions/).

**Unlock EVM features**

First of all, let's unlock EVM features in the Pontem Wallet. 

1. Click on 'Create Wallet'.

2. Select **“Settings”**.
3. Choose **“Network Mode”**.
4. From the list of supported networks, select **“Lumio L2”**.
