+# Access Tangerine Network
+
+There are a few options on how to access Tangerine networks. The first is to use the public Tangerine RPC endpoint, the second one is to run a fullnode and sync the fullnode locally.
+
+## Public RPC Endpoints
+
+The public RPC endpoints are available at:
+
+|Network|RESTful|WebSocket|Chain ID|
+|---|---|---|---|
+|Mainnet|https://mainnet-rpc.tangerine-network.io|wss://mainnet-rpc.tangerine-network.io/ws|373|
+|Testnet|https://testnet-rpc.tangerine-network.io|wss://testnet-rpc.tangerine-network.io/ws|374|
+
+Point your Tangerine/Ethereum client to this RPC endpoint and you should be able to read from and send transactions to Tangerine networks.
+
+## Syncing Fullnode
+
+The testnet could be synchronized with the following command:
+
+```
+gtan --testnet
+```
+
+If you don't know how to build the `gtan` binary, please follow the wiki page [here](Building-Tangerine.md).
+
+It may take a few hours before your fullnode is fully-synchronised. When it does, you can now point your Tangerine/Ethereum client to http://localhost:8545
+
+Note: Tangerine's current testnet is still unstable, it might be reset at some point. If it does, you might have to remove the data directory (`$HOME/.tangerine` on Linux, and `$HOME/Library/Tangerine` on MacOS) and re-sync the node.
