 # Getting Started
+This section will guide you through the necessary steps to set up and get started with the Devnet environment. By following these instructions, you'll be able to quickly configure your Devnet and start building data applications on Powerloom.
 
+## Minting the Devnet Slot
+To get started with Devnet, you'll need to mint a no-cost NFT slot on the Sepolia network. Follow these steps:
 
+1. Visit https://devnet-mint.powerloom.dev to begin the minting process.
+2. Once the NFT slot is minted, navigate to the [dashboard](https://devnet-mint.powerloom.dev/dashboard).
+3. In the dashboard, assign the burner wallet to your node slot.
 
-## System Requirements
+After completing these steps, you'll be ready to start using Devnet. The next step is to configure and run our snapshotter node. 
+
+## Setting up the Snapshotter Node
+A snapshotter peer, as part of the Powerloom Protocol, does exactly what the name suggests: It synchronizes with other snapshotter peers over a smart contract running on the Powerloom Prost chain. 
+
+Whether you are developing your own application or extending our existing use cases, setting up your Snapshotter node is a crucial step.
+
+The snapshotter node is a crucial part of our Powerloom protocol. Dive deep into the technical aspects of the snapshotter [here](/docs/build-with-powerloom/snapshotter-node/).
