Guide to setting up a Solana Wallet

Phantom is a popular and secure Solana wallet that allows you to store, manage, and interact with Solana-based assets and decentralized applications (dApps) like Squirrel Swap. Here's how to set it up:

  1. Download Phantom Wallet

    • For mobile users, download the Phantom app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android).

    • For desktop users, install the Phantom browser extension by visiting Phantom.app. It is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.

  2. Create a New Wallet or Import an Existing One

    • After installing the Phantom wallet, open the app or extension.

    • Select Create New Wallet to generate a new Solana wallet, or if you already have an existing wallet, click Import Wallet and enter your recovery phrase.

  3. Secure Your Wallet

    • Make sure to write down your recovery phrase and store it in a secure place. This phrase is critical for restoring your wallet in case you lose access to your device.

    • Phantom will ask you to confirm the recovery phrase to ensure you've stored it properly.

  4. Set Up a Password

    • Set a strong password to protect your wallet and make it more secure.

Now, you’re ready to manage your Solana assets and interact with dApps like Squirrel Swap!
