Set Up your Wallet
On RaceFi, we currently support Phantom Wallet, MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet.
Phantom Wallet
What is Phantom Wallet?
Phantom is a cryptocurrency wallet for the Solana ecosystem of Web3 applications. There are other wallets available, and RaceFi supports a bunch of them as well, but Phantom is still the most popular one. Similar to how users connect to the internet via a web browser, cryptocurrency wallets allow users to interact with blockchain and their respective decentralized applications (dapps). You’ll need to connect your wallet to Foundation in order to participate in the marketplace.
How do I set up a Phantom Wallet?
Download and install the Phantom wallet Phantom browser extension through their website.
Select “Create a Wallet.”
Create your username and password.
Remember to store your "Secret Recovery Phrase" in a safe and secure location, it is the only way to recover your wallet. If you lose this series of words or forget what order they’re in, you will lose access to your wallet and it will be unrecoverable. We suggested writing the phrase on a piece of paper and storing it in a memorable, safe, and secure spot.
Confirm the phrase by placing all of the words in the correct order as they were assigned.
Now, Phantom is set up and should appear in your browser extensions.
