Vanna is a **dual-sided DeFi protocol** - built for two types of users: liquidity providers who want to earn yield on their assets, and traders who need capital to trade and invest across DeFi markets.

## First: connect your wallet

Before doing anything on Vanna, connect your wallet. The guide below walks you through connecting your Stellar wallet and claiming testnet tokens from the faucet.
