Own your slice of Solana in just a few taps. Set up your crypto Web3 wallet, explore lightning-fast transactions, and dive into Solana’s thriving ecosystem, all without breaking a sweat.

Along the way, you will see how a non‑custodial interface like velto can connect to your wallet and make it easier to send, swap, and interact with Solana dApps while you keep full control of your keys.

What Is Solana?

Solana is a high-performance blockchain network designed for speed, scalability, and low fees. It’s built for people who don’t want to wait (or overpay) to get things done on-chain. The network’s native token, also called Solana (SOL), is what powers it all. You can use SOL for trading, crypto payments, to interact with dApps, stake for rewards, and more.

Why a Solana Web3 Wallet?

Because you want control. A Solana Web3 wallet is a self-custody wallet, so there are no middlemen or other approvals required. You get to own your assets, maintain your privacy when making transactions, and interact directly with the Solana blockchain. It’s your crypto, your keys, and your call, while you remain responsible for any legal, tax, or reporting rules that apply in your country.

How to Set Up Your Solana Web3 Wallet

Ready to roll? First you will create or connect a Solana Web3 wallet, then you can link it to velto so you can manage it more easily from your phone.

1. Download velto from the App Store or Google Play Store, and install or open your preferred non-custodial Solana wallet if you have not already.

2. Once you’ve installed the app, follow your Solana wallet’s setup instructions and tap “Create a New Wallet.”

3. Write down your recovery phrase and store it somewhere safe. In case you lose your phone, you can use this phrase to access your wallet (and crypto) again.

4. Enter a strong passcode and/or enable biometric authentication.

And you’re done! You now have a Solana wallet that you can connect to velto for a smoother Web3 experience.

Send SOL Within Seconds

SOL isn’t just fast; it’s blazing. With near-instant confirmation and typically very low fees, sending SOL is smoother than texting. Your coffee money has never traveled this quickly.

Swap Solana for Other Crypto

Turn SOL into Bitcoin (BTC) or other tokens right from your wallet. It’s easy peasy, and no need to leave the app or go to centralized exchanges. Just swap, confirm, and you’re done. Behind the scenes, your connected wallet signs the transaction and supported DEX or bridge protocols execute the swap on-chain; velto helps you see the route and details without ever taking custody of your funds.

Keep Your Solana Wallet Safe

A non-custodial Solana wallet gives you power when you control the keys directly, and that means greater responsibility. When you connect it to an interface like velto, your wallet still stores the keys and signs transactions, and velto only helps you review and send them more clearly. Be sure to use a strong password, never share your recovery phrase with anyone (not even us), and don’t make transactions using public WiFi. Stay sharp against phishing scams, too.
