# How to set up a Solana wallet and link it to Trustpad

### Creating a wallet

To participate in IDOs / sales of the projects launching on Solana you need to create a Solana wallet and link it to your profile on Trustpad. This SOL wallet will be used for tokens distribution.

We recommend [Phantom](https://phantom.app/) (desktop only) or [Trustwallet](https://trustwallet.com/) (mobile only) wallets.

Please follow the instructions to set up a wallet:

* [How to create a new wallet in Phantom](https://help.phantom.app/hc/en-us/articles/4406388623251-How-to-create-a-new-wallet)
* [How to configure Solana in Trustwallet](https://community.trustwallet.com/t/trust-wallet-supports-solana-spl-tokens/96557)

### Linking it to Trustpad

Once you have a wallet address, you should link it to your profile on Trustpad.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You are free to change the SOL wallet at any time. But **any change made after the sale ending won't be applied** to the distribution of that sale.
{% endhint %}

First, open Trustpad: <https://trustpad.io/>

1\) Connect to the wallet you're going to use for IDO / sale participation.

2\) Open any upcoming SOL sale page (CoreStarter in our case).

3\) You will see a text input, paste your **SOL wallet address** there.

4\)  If your wallet is valid, you will see a green checkmark. Read and check the checkbox and press "Submit".

5\) You will see a popup asking you to sign a message. It is required to ensure that only you can change the corresponding SOL wallet.&#x20;

Sign the message and if everything is correct, your wallet will be saved in our database. Once the sale ends, we will distribute the tokens to this wallet.
