### Step 1: Make sure you have an EVM-enabled Wallet &#x20;

If you are on a **desktop** we recommend [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), which is compatible with the Chrome, Firefox or [Brave](https://brave.com/) browser. Here's a [beginner's guide on how to setup your MetaMask wallet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tw-tQD0jztE) on a desktop device.

If you are on a **mobile** phone we recommend [MetaMask Mobile](https://metamask.io/), [TrustWallet](https://trustwallet.com/), or [Rainbow](https://rainbow.me/) wallet. All of these work on iOS or Android device.

{% hint style="info" %}
For advanced users, you can also purchase your domain name via a hardware wallet like [Ledger](https://www.ledger.com/) or [Trezor](https://trezor.io/).
{% endhint %}

This guide will assume you are using MetaMask on a desktop browser, but other browsers and wallets should work very similarly.

### Step 2: Navigate to the Pulse Domains App

* Visit our official site [app.pulse.domains](https://app.pulse.domains/)
* Connect your wallet.

* .pls domains must be 3 characters or longer.
* Keep in mind you can also select emojis 🙃

### Step 4: Select the ownership length

* .pls domain names start at $5/year paid in PLS, however on testnet they are below 1 tPLS
* .pls domain names can be owned indefinitely, as long as this annual fee is paid.

### Step 5: Update your profile&#x20;

* You can include as much or as little information about yourself or your online identity. Check out our [Preserving Your Privacy](/guides/preserving-your-privacy.md) guide if you are uncertain about what information you might want to include.
* Keep in mind you can always update your profile after you purchased your .pls domain.

### Step 6: Finalize your domain purchase

* To ensure no one claims a name at the same time, there is a waiting period of 60 seconds required.
* You will be signing a total of 2 transactions to finalize a purchase. The first transaction is to set the timer and the second transaction is to initiate the payment.
