# Complete Tutorial for Staking PRIME tokens in SolanaPrime.

Are you trying to figure out how to correctly stake your PRIME tokens in our dApp? Please take a moment to read through this in-depth tutorial on how to buy and stake PRIME tokens and, in the end, learn how to claim your SPIX rewards!

We’ve updated this guide for our brand new interfaces!


Let’s get straight to it! The first step is wallet creation. SolanaPrime IDOs will be compatible with many Solana Web 3.0 wallets, but for the moment we will only have Phantom compatibility. If you already have a Phantom wallet, you can skip to step 2 where we will go over how to buy PRIME tokens.

Step 1 — Phantom Wallet Creation
---

<br />


<br />

Whether you use Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Brave browser, Phantom has a safe and easy-to-use Web3 crypto wallet that you can easily add to your browser as an extension. To add this lightweight extension to your browser head over here and choose the extension button of your preferred browser.

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Nzjnorr.png" /></div>

<br />

Next, click on the Add/Install button for the extension to be added, following the necessary instructions that may be provided by Phantom. Once the extension is downloaded, open it, and this screen will show up:

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/pywwjMQ.png" /></div>

<br />

As you do not have a wallet of your own, you will click “Create new wallet” and follow all instructions provided by Phantom; these include:

1. Creating a password.
2. Writing down a 12-word secret phrase somewhere safe.

**ALWAYS** remember that this phrase is for your eyes only; any third parties who have access to this phrase will have full access to your wallet's funds.

If you need help creating a Phantom account, or troubleshooting the download process, check out their handy FAQs [here](https://help.phantom.app/hc/en-us/sections/4406292677267-FAQ). Please note that we can’t assist with issues at the Phantom account creation stage, if you need help here, please contact Phantom support.

ProTip — Never share or digitally store the seed phrase you’re given when creating your Phantom account. If you lose this seed phrase, or it’s stolen, any funds in your wallet could be irrevocably lost. We will never ask you for your seed phrase. Neither SolanaPrime nor any other entity can assist you if your seed phrase is lost or stolen, it is your sovereign responsibility to ensure its safety.

That’s it! You now have a Wallet to support all SPL tokens and NFTs in the Solana ecosystem!

Congratulations!

Step 2 — Buy PRIME
---
Purchase PRIME by clicking on the “Buy PRIME Token” on our landing page:

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/cC6G7Tv.png" /></div>

<br />

Please take a moment to double-check the URL and that the page has a valid SSL certificate (lock symbol to the left of the URL) and that the URL is: https://solanaprime.com/. This will ensure that you are taken to the correct swap.

You should be taken to Raydium’s DEX, with the swap pair already set to USDC -> PRIME.

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/HJQa7l9.png" /></div>

<br />

Once you’ve reached this point, you can click on “Connect Wallet” and exchange a crypto asset of your choice for PRIME. Follow the steps in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViFSfsAqSLg) if you’re unsure how to buy assets on Raydium, and appeal to [this FAQ](https://raydium.gitbook.io/raydium/trading-on-serum/faq) for any further doubts that may arise.

Step 3 — Connect Phantom to SolanaPrime app.
---
Visit our landing page => https://solanaprime.com/, and click the "Launch App" button!

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/cC6G7Tv.png" /></div>

<br />

Please take a moment to double-check the URL is: https://solanaprime.com/ and that the page has a valid SSL certificate (lock symbol to the left of the URL).
Now you’re ready to connect your Phantom wallet to SolanaPrime. Opening the SolanaPrime app can result in a couple of different scenarios, depending on your browser, cache, etc.
A button can be easily found to connect your wallet.

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/RKHdcKc.png" /></div>

<br />

After clicking this button, a menu of wallets will show up for you to choose from. In this case, click on Phantom. If you use another Solana compatible wallet, this is the time for you to pick your wallet of choice.
<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/W7Pokr7.png" /></div>

<br />

Whether a Phantom window automatically opens in the top right corner when you arrive in SolanaPrime, or you have picked the Phantom option manually, log in to your wallet and then click “Approve” as shown below:

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/E8dE0W7.png" /></div>

<br />

Once the wallet connection is successful, you should see the following image containing the amount of PRIME tokens in your wallet.

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/3pip4Gb.png" /></div>

<br />

Also, you should have a little wallet icon with your wallet address on the right side of the application where you can make sure that the connected address is the correct one and where you have funded the PRIME tokens (not another sub-wallet in your Phantom).

Step 4 — Stake your PRIME
---
In this step, you need to stake the PRIME you bought. To start, click on the “Staking” button in the app’s header - outlined in red below.

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/XJroU48.png" /></div>

<br />

This will take you to the following Staking terminal within the application:

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/u5EcjnR.png" /></div>

<br />

You can now connect your wallet by clicking on the “Connect wallet” button, the same way you would as described in step 3, unless the application has already picked up your wallet. This is the Staking terminal, where you have three steps: "Stake", "Unstake" and "Claim".

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/DdNcJ5H.png" /></div>

<br />

The first step is to stake the PRIME tokens you bought, explained in step 2. Once connected you should be able to see a clickable “Stake PRIME” button in blue. You can also click ‘Max’ to stake all of your available PRIME tokens, or input the specific amount of tokens you wish to stake.

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/bgyP2jT.png" /></div>

<br />

A Phantom window will pop up. Click Confirm. If you do not have enough SOL for transaction fees to complete the staking transaction, the Confirm button will be greyed out.

Add more SOL to your Phantom if required and finish the process. Once you have staked PRIME and passed the KYC, you can register for an IDO.

Once your transaction has been confirmed on the Solana blockchain, you will see both the pop-up window congratulating you for staking, as well as Phantom transaction confirmation.

Step 5 — Unstake your PRIME.
---
You can choose to unstake your PRIME tokens by clicking “Unstake” in the staking terminal.

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/r7qO7tq.png" /></div>

<br />

Once the PRIME tokens are available to claim, the "Unstake PRIME" button should appear blue, and clicking it will prompt a Phantom transaction. Once you approve it, your PRIME tokens will be available in your wallet, including the "Cast-out fee", detailed in the "PRIME Staking FAQ".

Step 6 — Claim your SPIX tokens.
---
Whether or not you have participated in an IDO, you are, in most cases, entitled to a certain reward in SPIX tokens, as the process of staking PRIME generates this interest automatically.
Once staking has been completed successfully, you can head on over to the SPIX rewards section in the PRIME staking panel:

<br />

<div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/ujDmsx4.png" /></div>

<br />

Where all your SPIX funds will be displayed, for the moment being SPIX tokens will only be accumulated in the index pool, and as such, claiming your SPIX tokens will be a feature TBA, but after confirming the claim transaction your funds will be available in your Phantom wallet.
