MAIL ON BOARDGet started

Your first step into crypto.

A plain-English starter guide. It takes about 10 minutes, and you don't need to buy anything.

The guide

  1. Install a wallet. A wallet is an app that holds your crypto. Popular ones on Solana are Phantom and Solflare. Only download them from their official websites or app stores.
  2. Write down your recovery phrase, offline. It's 12 or 24 words. Anyone who has it controls your wallet. Never type it into a website, never send it to anyone, and never screenshot it.
  3. Learn the scams. No real project will DM you first, ask for your phrase, or promise guaranteed returns. If it's urgent and too good to be true, it's a scam.
  4. Get a tiny amount of SOL. A few cents covers network fees. Ask a friend who already uses crypto to send some, or use a regulated exchange in your country.
  5. Make your first transaction. For example, send a tiny amount to yourself or a friend. Then copy the transaction signature from your wallet's activity page.
  6. Get counted. Paste your wallet address and that signature below. We check on-chain that it's a brand-new wallet, then add you to the live board.

Verify your onboarding

Never share your recovery phrase or private key with anyone, including us. We only ever need your public address.

This guide is education, not financial advice. You don't need to buy any coin to be onboarded.
