Setup Wallets & RPC

Adding an RPC Address

• Navigate to the "SOL Wallets & RPC" section within the app.

• Here, you'll find fields to enter your RPC Address and Private Key.

Quicknode RPC Instructions (FREE!)

• Go to https://dashboard.quicknode.com

• Sign in with Google

• Give it any name / organization name

• Create endpoint

• Solana

• Mainnet beta

• Ignore the next screen and click "select plan" on bottom right

• Click "Free"

  • Note you'll be asked to enter a credit card. Enter one and you won't be charged as long as you keep within their generous monthly limits (which they email you when you are about to hit the limits)

• Click "Copy" under "HTTP Provider" and paste it into the "SOL Wallets & RPC" page, then click on "Add RPC Address"

You only need to add a single RPC for all of your wallets

If you want alternative RPCs, consider:

• https://syndica.io

  • Your RPC will be "https://solana-mainnet.api.syndica.io/api-key/YOUR_API_KEY" , and API Key is gotten by clicking "API Keys" on the left, then clicking copy next to API Key

• https://www.alchemy.com/dapps/alchemy

• https://www.helius.dev (this one sometimes has issues)

Generating and Importing SOL Wallets

Begin by using Phantom to generate new wallets, or using some old burner wallets. After creation, you'll need to import their private keys into the SOL Decoder application.

Importing Your SOL Wallets

• Open Phantom, navigate to Settings by clicking on the three lines in the top left corner, then select 'Settings'.

• Find the section displaying your wallet's name, click to reveal the "Show Private Key" option, enter your password, and copy the revealed private key (it should look like a string of letters and numbers, not mnemonic words).

• Paste this key into the designated field in the app's "Wallets" page and submit.

• Ensure each wallet contains at least 0.1 SOL to remain operational.

Your SOL private key to import looks something like 3R2HkcrvKkeT4c3ArNEtvpTvEMvSCFbjHNbocdZYA4bS6hJGZp52f6vXwuXnNf4qRSW6ZpQ3WsBXojqGsWDy2z If it's something different (such as what Solflare wallet gives), then export your secret phrase from that wallet, import it into Phantom, and then follow our steps above
