## Step 2: Export your private key NOW

Veggies Gotchi app uses account abstraction technology ([Account Abstraction](/veggies-gotchi/how-veggies-gotchi-works/game-technology/account-abstraction.md))\
This means that you'll have a wallet integrated directly into the app.\
By exporting your private key, you ensure that you never lose access to your account and funds.\
Read [Keep Your Private Key Safe](/veggies-gotchi/important/keep-your-private-key-safe.md) for more informations.\
\
Click the button "Export your private key" to export it:

You can also import your own wallet in the app by importing your private key if you dont want to use Veggies Gotchi Wallet.

## Step 3: Fund your Veggies Gotchi Wallet

To get started and access the game, you'll need to send $ETH to your Veggies Gotchi wallet on zkSync.\
You need to deposit at least 0.01 $ETH to unlock it!\ <mark style="color:red;">**ONLY SEND $ETH ON ZKSYNC NETWORK, DON'T SEND FROM ANOTHER NETWORK!**</mark>&#x20;
