Never bought crypto before? Perfect. This guide is written like we're explaining it to a friend at brunch. No jargon, no eye-rolls.
You'll need a wallet that speaks Solana. Phantom is the easiest for beginners — it works on your phone and as a browser extension. Solflare and Backpack are also great picks.
SOL is the fuel of the Solana network. You need a little bit to swap into $QUOKKA and to pay tiny transaction fees (usually less than $0.01).
Head to Jupiter — the best swap aggregator on Solana. It finds you the best price across every DEX automatically.
That's the whole strategy. Hold, share memes, be nice to strangers on the internet. The quokka way.
LP is burned and there is no buy or sell tax. Always verify the official contract address from this site before swapping — scammers love to spoof new tokens.
You can start with as little as $10 of SOL. Keep a tiny amount (0.02 SOL is plenty) unspent to cover future transaction fees.
Yes. Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood all let you buy SOL and withdraw it to Phantom. Just make sure you pick the Solana network on withdrawal.
Take a breath. Most 'mess-ups' are just slow confirmations. If you sent SOL on the wrong network, contact your exchange support. If you lost your seed phrase — the quokka cannot help you. Guard it with your life.
Usually slippage. Increase it to 3–5% on Jupiter, or try again in 30 seconds. New tokens are volatile.
