9. Wait for transactions to confirm (about 1 minute)
10. Check your wallet - you should see the new tokens

**✅ Quest Complete! You now have test assets to use.**

### **NEED HELP?**

**Why can't I create a vault?** The button is disabled if there is insufficient gas in the connected wallet to create a vault.

**when minting the tokens and nfts, i did not see any incrementation in my wallet balance?** The test-tokens/NFTs have no value. So, the balance will not change.

#### Quest 2: Create Your First Vault (10 minutes)

**What you're doing:** Setting up a secure vault with 3 trusted protectors.<br>

1. Click "Create New Vault" on the dashboard
2. Enter 3 Guardian Addresses:
3. These should be addresses you control OR trusted friends
4. Can be other wallets you own
5. Tip: Don't use the same address as your vault owner
6. Example: Your hardware wallet, your mobile wallet, your friend's wallet
7. Choose How Many Approvals Needed:
8. Select "2 out of 3" (means 2 guardians must approve important actions)
9. This is a good security balance
10. Click "Create Vault"
11. Approve the transaction in your wallet
12. Wait for confirmation (about 30 seconds)
13. You'll see your new Vault Dashboard

**✅ Quest Complete! Your vault is ready. You'll see your vault ID number.**

### **NEED HELP?**

**I added one guardian but the default threshold was stuck at 0?** The max threshold must always be one less than the guardian count to avoid lockout situations.
