<p>You first need to generate keys to derive an address from. Addresses that are already in use are not accessible unless you hold the associated signing key.</p>

You first need to generate keys to derive an address from. Addresses that are already in use are not accessible unless you hold the associated signing key.

One way to get started is with the cardano-cli. See <https://docs.cardano.org/cardano-testnet/getting-started>
