# Prerequisites

Before you can start using the Botanix Bridge, you'll need to ensure you have the following:

## Compatible Wallets

* **Bitcoin Wallet**: You need a Bitcoin wallet with bitcoin. This can be any standard Bitcoin wallet such as Ledger, Trezor, or a mobile wallet such as OKX. You can also send funds from a hot wallet such as Coinbase or Kraken.
* **EVM-Compatible Wallet**: Since Botanix uses an account model, you'll need a wallet that can connect to EVM-compatible networks. Popular options include:
  * MetaMask
  * Rabby
  * OKX

## Network Configuration

The network will be added automatically to your chosen wallet when interacting with our bridge. In case you want to add the network manually or you run into any issues during the process, you can use the following parameters:
