First, go to [DeXe.io](https://www.dexe.io/) and click "Launch App" to open the DeXe DAO Studio web application. You'll see a homepage listing DAOs created by other users. You can also use a [direct link](https://app.dexe.io/) to the web application.

### Step 2: Connect Your Crypto Wallet <a href="#docs-internal-guid-1d0c96c3-7fff-8264-2dee-31a06f105591" id="docs-internal-guid-1d0c96c3-7fff-8264-2dee-31a06f105591"></a>

<figure><img src="/files/CHMlK6CYjCpEEThu6sGu" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To get started, click the "Connect Wallet" button in the top right corner. You'll need to connect a wallet like MetaMask or WalletConnect to interact with the platform.

Before initiating the transaction, make sure to review and agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Then confirm the connect operation in your crypto wallet.

### Step 3: Select a Blockchain Network <a href="#docs-internal-guid-ab59696b-7fff-54c0-b594-bb0c7ae6aa4f" id="docs-internal-guid-ab59696b-7fff-54c0-b594-bb0c7ae6aa4f"></a>

Next, choose which blockchain network you want to build your DAO on. Various options like BSC20 will be available from the network dropdown menu at the top of the screen. You can always test all features for free by creating a test DAO on the test network.
