Before starting you will have to own some SOL - you can purchase it on multiple cryptocurrency exchanges.
Create Solflare Wallet
Access your Solflare wallet from the Solflare page. You can also download the mobile app or browser extension from here.
Create a new wallet or import an existing one.
Save your Secret Recovery Phrase somewhere secure. You will need it to recover your account or log in on a different device. If you lose it, you will lose access to your funds! Please do not share this Secret Recovery Phrase with anyone; anyone with access to it will have access to your funds!
Create a secure password.
To fund your wallet, copy your Solana address from the top right corner or click Receive at https://solflare.com/portfolio.
