# Connecting to Aura

> Two ways to get on Aura: a passkey wallet (recommended) or the Alephium browser extension.

Aura is designed to be accessible to everyone, whether you're coming from
Ethereum, BNB Chain (BSC), or are already an Alephium native. This section
covers how to create your wallet and fund your account so you can start
trading.

Aura offers two ways to connect:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Passkey Wallet" icon="fingerprint" href="/getting-started/passkeys">
    **Recommended for new users.** No extensions, no seed phrases — just your
    device's biometrics (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or PIN).
  </Card>

  <Card title="Alephium Wallet Extension" icon="puzzle-piece">
    For existing Alephium users who already have a wallet. Connect using the
    official Alephium browser extension.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Tip>
  Once connected, head to [Bridging to Aura](/getting-started/bridging) to fund
  your account with USDT from Ethereum or BSC, or deposit Alephium-native USDT
  directly.
