If you don't have any or very much experience with blockchains or Solana, then this guide is for you. We'll use PayPal as the easiest onboarding example, and assume you don't already have a Solana wallet. This setup guide will also work with any other platforms that allow you to transfer stablecoins or SOL.
Once you log in for the first time, the first thing you'll want to do is set up your account. Since accounts live on-chain, you'll need an admin wallet to manage the account.
From the dashboard, click the "Setup Account" button or navigate to the "Mange Funds" page and choose to "Create a New Wallet."
From there you'll be given an overview of the setup process. Click the "Create My Wallet" button to create your admin wallet.
You'll be presented with a window with your new wallet. You can optionally add your phone number as a wallet recovery option.
The easiest way to fund your admin wallet is via PayPal. First you'll want to make a purchase of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin. Once you have some PYUSD, you'll want to send it to your admin wallet address. You can get your admin wallet address from the setup screen:
Then from PayPal, you can send your PYUSD to your admin wallet, by choosing to send PYUSD and pasting your admin wallet address.
After you've transferred PYUSD to your admin wallet, click the "I've Transferred Funds" button to continue. We'll also send you an email to notify you once we've detected a transfer into your admin wallet, so you can always leave the setup and come back. This is to handle cases where transfers may take a long time.
Once your admin wallet has been funded, you're ready for the final step, which will set up your account.
Click the confirm button to submit a transaction to the Solana network to set up your account with your initial deposit.
And that's it! You're done!
Your "Manage Funds" screen should then change to show your balance along with available actions.
