How to create a Solana wallet and deposit funds

Solana is a high-speed single-layer blockchain, currently supporting a peak capacity of 65k transactions per second and 400ms block times using a network timestamp system called Proof-of-History (“PoH”).

Solana’s mission is to support all high-growth and high-frequency blockchain applications, and to democratize the world’s financial systems.

This is why Solana is one of the more popular alternatives to dethrone Ethereum, since it can do everything it does, but better and more efficiently.

1. The first thing we are going to do is direct ourselves to sollet.io

2. Once here you will see how from the beginning they show us what the seed words of our wallet will be, something very important that will allow us to recover it in case you have to change devices or lose control of it.

The safest thing to do is to store these words in physical, be it by writing them in a piece of paper or any other way.

3. After safely storing our seed words, we will click on the “I have saved these words in a safe place” button and then “CONTINUE”.

4. In this step we are going to select a secure password to access our “sollet”.

5. And then we will click on “CREATE WALLET”.

6. Now our Solana wallet is ready for use.

7. To deposit SOL in our wallet we will simply click on the “RECEIVE” button. This will show us our deposit address to receive SOL, which we can deposit from exchanges such as FTX, Binance, BitMax, among others.
