In this section, you will set up your wallet, deploy the contract on a public tezos testnet and then interact with it using smartpy explorer and better-call.dev.

<aside> 💡 As tezos is upgradable, new testnets appear after every 3 months and older ones are made absolute. So, always use the testnets of the latest protocols. Learn more about Tezos protocols here.
