# How to trade on Raydium

### Step 1: Create a Solana wallet

{% hint style="info" %}
You can ignore this step if you already have a Solana wallet
{% endhint %}

1. Install Phantom (or other Solana Wallet)
   1. Go to <https://phantom.com/>
   2. Install the **browser extension** (Chrome, Brave, Firefox) or **mobile app** (iOS / Android)
2. Create a New Wallet
   1. Open Phantom → click **“Create New Wallet”**
   2. Choose **“Create a new wallet”** (not import)
3. Secure Your Recovery Phrase (Very Important)
   1. Phantom will show a **12-word recovery phrase**
   2. **Write it down offline** (paper, notebook)
   3. **Never share it** with anyone
   4. Do **not** store it in screenshots, email, or cloud
4. Set Your Password
   1. Create a strong password for daily access
   2. This password protects your device, **not** your recovery phrase
5. Fund your wallet with some $SOL: $SOL is used to pay network (gas) fees on the Solana blockchain. Make sure to keep around **$1–$2 worth of SOL** in your wallet so your trades can go through smoothly.

### Step 2: Connect your Solana Wallet

1. Connect your EVM wallet as usual
