To use the application and the service we are going to need three things:

An internet browser extension wallet. Read Compatible wallets how to get a compatible wallet, or read the guides to connect Nifty wallet and Metamask wallet to Rootstock (RSK)
RBTC to pay for the transaction cost. See Getting RBTC
RIF tokens to buy or extend the expiration of a domain. See Getting RIF Tokens. Also, read here on how to view your tokens in your wallet.

Getting RBTC

Since RNS works on top of Rootstock (RSK) blockchain, to pay for transactional fees you will need RBTC tokens. This is going to be used in the registration and for updating any configuration on the domain.

If you are using the testnet you can get free funds in the RSK faucet
