If you’re new to Web3, don’t worry—getting started with a wallet on Solana is easier than it sounds. Follow this step-by-step guide to create a Phantom wallet, set it up for Solana, and start holding CAT.
If you don’t already have a Phantom wallet, follow these steps to create one and start managing your CAT tokens on Solana.
Visit the Phantom Website: Go to .
Download the Extension: Click Download and choose the appropriate version for your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Brave).
Alternatively, download the Phantom mobile app from the App Store or Google Play Store for your smartphone.
After downloading, install the extension in your browser.
Once installed, you'll see the Phantom icon in your browser toolbar. Click it to open the wallet.
Click Create a New Wallet on the Phantom setup screen.
Save Your Secret Recovery Phrase:
You’ll be given a 12-word secret recovery phrase.
Write it down and store it in a secure place (offline, not on your device).
Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. It’s the only way to recover your wallet if you lose access.
Confirm that you’ve saved the phrase by completing the on-screen verification.
Choose a strong password for your wallet.
This password will be used to unlock the Phantom wallet on your browser or device.
Once your wallet is created, Phantom will walk you through its features, including sending and receiving tokens, swapping assets, and viewing NFTs.
The wallet will now be accessible from your browser extension or mobile app.
Copy your wallet address by clicking the Receive button in Phantom and copying the provided address.
Use this address to send SOL from a centralized exchange (e.g., Binance, Coinbase, Kraken) or another wallet.
Follow these steps to buy CAT using our Solana contract address (3joMReCCSESngJEpFLoKR2dNcChjSRCDtybQet5uSpse

Scroll down and select Add Token.
Enter the CAT token's contract address:

Confirm to add the token. The CAT token will now appear in your Phantom wallet.
Before making a purchase, ensure your wallet has enough SOL to cover transaction fees.
You can buy SOL from a centralized exchange like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken and send it to your Phantom wallet.
Connect your Phantom Wallet by clicking Connect Wallet.
In the "You're Selling" field, select SOL.
In the "You're Buying" field, enter the CAT token's contract address:

It should automatically recognize the CAT token.
Enter the amount of SOL you want to swap for CAT.
Click Swap and approve the transaction in your Phantom Wallet.
Connect your Phantom Wallet by clicking Connect Wallet.
Navigate to the Swap section.
In the "From" field, select SOL as the input token.
In the "To" field, paste the CAT token contract address: 3joMReCCSESngJEpFLoKR2dNcChjSRCDtybQet5uSpse
Enter the amount of SOL to swap for CAT and confirm the transaction.
Connect your Phantom Wallet by clicking Connect Wallet.
In the "You Pay" field, select SOL.
In the "You Receive" field, paste the CAT token's contract address: 3joMReCCSESngJEpFLoKR2dNcChjSRCDtybQet5uSpse
