How does one go about making transactions on Solana? A wallet is what you’ll need!
We recommend @phantom or @solflare_wallet.
For those of you who are @MetaMask users, the setup process should feel familiar.
If not, here’s a recap.
Let’s talk about Phantom (Chrome extension) since that’s what the @SolRings fam uses most frequently. Phantom is your gateway to the Solana ecosystem by way of tokens, Solana NFT transactions, staking and swaps.
The first tab allows you to view the various tokens you have, as well as send/recieve tokens.
Collectibles is your gateway to viewing your NFTs, and clicking into individual ones allow you to send the NFTs.
You can also execute swap directions directly within Phantom through the “2 inverse arrows” tab.
You can always inspect individual transaction activities using the “lightning” tab and clicking on the transaction that you are curious about.
Phantom’s official guide gives us further insights.
