# How to buy

### Introduction

To ensure a smooth and secure experience for all participants, this document outlines the official steps to acquire **$SOLA tokens** during the Solastro AI presale. The process is designed to accommodate both Web3-native users and newcomers by supporting multiple payment methods, including SOL and credit/debit card options.

***

### 1. Wallet Preparation

To participate in the $SOLA presale, users must first connect a compatible decentralized wallet.

**Supported Wallets:**

* Phantom
* Trust Wallet
* Any wallet that supports WalletConnect

**Network Configuration:**\
Ensure your wallet is set to the **Solana network (ERC-20 compatible layer)**.

***

### 2. Fund Wallet with SOL

$SOLA tokens can be purchased using **Solana (SOL)**, which also covers the gas fees for network transactions.

**To acquire SOL:**

* Use centralized exchanges such as **Coinbase**, **Binance**, or any reputable provider.
* Transfer SOL from your exchange wallet to your decentralized wallet (e.g., Phantom or Trust Wallet).

***

### 3. Access the Solastro AI Presale Platform

Once your wallet is ready and funded, follow these steps to join the presale:

* Visit the official platform: <https://solastro.io>
* Click **“Connect Wallet”** and authorize the connection through your wallet interface.

***

### 4. Select Payment Method

On the presale dashboard, choose your preferred payment method.\
Currently, **SOL** is supported for native purchases.

* Click the **SOL** option to proceed.

***

### 5. Enter Purchase Amount

* Input the amount of SOL you wish to contribute.
* The platform will display the equivalent amount of **$SOLA tokens** based on the current presale rate.
* Review and confirm your selection, then click **“Buy”**.

***

### 6. Confirm the Transaction

A transaction approval request will appear in your connected wallet.\
Review the following details carefully:

* Purchase amount
* Recipient contract address
* Estimated gas fee

After verifying the data, approve the transaction. The Solana network will begin validation immediately.

***

### 7. Completion & Token Delivery

Upon successful confirmation, your **$SOLA tokens** will be sent directly to your connected wallet.\
You can verify receipt by viewing your wallet token holdings or using a Solana block explorer.

***

### Optional Path: Purchase via Credit/Debit Card

For users new to crypto or without direct access to SOL, we provide a simple on-ramp solution using fiat.

#### Step 1: Buy SOL with Card

Use a trusted fiat on-ramp provider to purchase SOL:

* **Ramp Network**
* **MoonPay**

These platforms allow you to use credit or debit cards to purchase SOL and send it directly to your connected wallet (Phantom or Trust Wallet recommended).

***

#### Step 2: Proceed with $SOLA Purchase

Once SOL is in your wallet, return to the Solastro presale platform and follow the standard steps outlined above — starting from **Step 3**.

> 💡 **Note:** To ensure smooth execution, it is recommended to purchase at least **$50 worth of SOL**, allowing sufficient coverage for both token purchase and transaction fees.

***

### Important Reminders

* **Double-check wallet addresses** and ensure you are using the correct Solana network.
* Never share your wallet’s private keys or seed phrases with anyone, including project staff.
* Only use the official website and verified presale contract address.
