# Solana Wallet Setup: Connect to Kickchain on Devnet

> Get your Solana wallet connected to Kickchain — install a compatible wallet, switch to devnet, grab some free SOL, and start making predictions.

To make predictions and collect NFT cards in Kickchain, you need a Solana wallet installed on your Android device. The setup takes only a few minutes and the devnet SOL you need for fees is completely free. Follow the steps below to get ready.

<Warning>
  Kickchain runs on **Solana devnet** — a test network that uses free, worthless SOL. Never send real mainnet SOL to your devnet wallet address. Any real SOL sent to a devnet address is unrecoverable.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install a Solana wallet">
    Download a Mobile Wallet Adapter-compatible wallet on your Android device. **Phantom** is the recommended option for Kickchain.

    * [Download Phantom at phantom.app](https://phantom.app)
    * Alternatively, Solflare and any other Mobile Wallet Adapter (MWA) wallet will work

    Follow the in-app instructions to create a new wallet and securely save your seed phrase. Never share your seed phrase with anyone.

    <Note>
      Mobile Wallet Adapter is **Android-only**. iOS support is not available in Kickchain yet. The demo path requires an Android device.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Switch to devnet">
    Kickchain runs on Solana devnet, so your wallet needs to be connected to the right network.

    1. Open your wallet app and go to **Settings**
    2. Find the **Network** or **Change Network** option
    3. Select **Devnet**

    Your wallet balance will now show your devnet SOL. This is separate from any mainnet funds — the two networks are completely independent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get devnet SOL">
    Submitting predictions and minting NFT cards requires a tiny amount of SOL to cover Solana transaction fees. You can get free devnet SOL from the official faucet.

    1. Go to [faucet.solana.com](https://faucet.solana.com)
    2. Paste your wallet's public address into the input field
    3. Request an airdrop — even 0.5 SOL is more than enough to get started

    <Tip>
      Transaction fees on devnet are fractions of a cent. A single airdrop of devnet SOL will cover hundreds of predictions, so you won't need to top up often.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your wallet in Kickchain">
    1. Open the Kickchain app on your Android device
    2. Go to the **Matches** tab
    3. Tap **Connect Wallet**
    4. Your wallet app will open and ask you to authorise the connection — tap **Approve**

    Once approved, you'll return to the Kickchain app with your wallet connected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're ready">
    Your wallet address will appear in the Kickchain app, confirming the connection. You can now browse open markets, submit predictions, and collect NFT cards.

    To **disconnect your wallet**, tap your wallet address displayed in the app — you'll be prompted to disconnect.
