Please make sure the wallet you decide to link with your Dustland account is the one you want. Once they are paired together, you cannot unlink them i.e. you can’t change your Dustland account to be with another wallet address.

#### **What equipment do I need to get started?**

You simply need a smartphone connected to the Internet and perhaps a pair of headphones. Why? You can listen to the Dustland story while you run or listen to your own music.

#### &#x20;**What are the device requirements?**

In order to start your running adventures with us, your device needs:&#x20;

* For Android: API levels: 23+, Target SDK: 30, OpenGL ES versions: 2.0+, RAM (Total Memory): 2.0GB+&#x20;
* For iOS: Requires iOS 13.0 or later

#### **Do I need a crypto wallet to start Dustland?**

The good news is that you don’t need a crypto wallet to start running with Dustland Runner. However, if you want to earn in-game rewards, you will need a MetaMask wallet to convert these items into DOSE tokens or NFTs. At that moment,&#x20;

* If you already have a crypto wallet, connect your wallet on [Dustland website](https://www.thedustland.com) by clicking the ‘Connect Wallet’ button&#x20;
* If you haven’t yet, you need to create a wallet and then connect the wallet. Hit the [tutorial](<https://bit.ly/3zBGQJm >) on getting one
