Get Solana from the Solana Faucet
What are Solanas?
Solanas are a new kind of money. They aren't created or controlled by a government (like dollars or euros). Anybody who wants to can run the software and be part of the network. Visit solana.com for the geeky details.
How do I get a Solana Receiving Address?
Install a wallet such as Phantom or Solflare (or use the Solana CLI if you live in a terminal). Open it up. It will show you your receiving address, a long string of letters and numbers. Paste that here. A wallet you control is best.
I've got Solana; how can I help?
Send some to the Solana Faucet at
address DqWPN6zptwMsUda2La6rgQSnfNubkhJJhvVvV3zYSNYv and they'll be given away.
It may take a little while for your donation to show up in the amount available.
What's the catch?
No catch. I want Solana to be something you can actually try, not just read about.
A few coins to start with is enough to send a transaction and see how it feels.
