### Set Up Your Spexi Account

* First, [download the Spexi App](https://explorer.spexi.com/download) to your Android device (make sure it is the correct version for your drone)
* Create a pilot account using an email or by linking your existing metamask wallet. If you use an email address, a digital asset wallet will be automatically created for you when you sign up. This wallet is where your USDC rewards will be deposited. If you link an existing metamask wallet, your USDC rewards will be deposited in that wallet.

Once your account is set up:

* Confirm your contact details
* Review eligibility and equipment requirements. License approvals typically take less than 24 hours. If your approval remains pending, open a [support ticket](https://spexi.freshdesk.com/support/home).
* Access missions on the map

### Request and Fly Test Missions

New pilots can request six, one-time paid missions to:

* Test your drone setup at a nearby location
* See what it’s like to fly with the Spexi App
* Become familiar with capturing missions using the automated flight plan
* Ensure uploads and approvals work smoothly on the [Spexi Explorer](http://explorer.spexi.com)

These test missions are designed to help you get comfortable flying on the LayerDrone Network with the Spexi App so you’re ready for future mission launches.&#x20;

You’ll receive an email when you create your account with instructions on how to request your onboarding missions.&#x20;

{% endstep %}

### Join the Community (Highly Recommended)

To stay updated on new missions and flight opportunities:

* Join the [Discord community](https://discord.com/invite/rCNp9Mhedm)
* Opt in for [mission notifications here](https://rl7l9.share.hsforms.com/2NK8lHFdCQjGFySvAec7NqQ)

These are the best ways to know when new regions go live or when new missions are launched in your area.
