The preprod testnet of Cardano can be used with any wallet that supports to switch between Testnet and mainnet. For this documentation we are going to use Lace.
Go to https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/lace to download the browser extension and create a new wallet or import any wallet that you have custodial of.
After installing, go to the Wallet extension, top right, and click on the "account button".
Scroll down to "Network"
Select Preprod Network
You will find the Preprod notifier in the middle center of the Lace wallet.
Go to the Cardano Testnet Faucet and claim tADA. In order to do so, please select "Preprod Testnet" in the Environment dropdown and "Receive test ADA" in the Action dowpdown. Put the wallet address of your testnet wallet into the Address field, verify with the captcha that you are not a robot and click on "Request Funds". (The API Key field can be ignored)
You have now received your funds to your testnet wallet and can start testing.
