# Quickstart

Starting your journey in Blockminer is simple but requires a few preparations. Since the game is built on **Solana**, you will need a compatible wallet.

#### Step 1: Prepare Your Wallet

You can use one of the following Solana wallets:

* **Phantom Wallet** – the most popular Solana wallet, available as a browser extension and mobile app.
* **Solflare Wallet** – another trusted Solana wallet with web and mobile versions.

👉 Download Phantom: <https://phantom.app/\\>
👉 Download Solflare: <https://solflare.com/>

After installation, create a wallet and securely back up your **seed phrase**. Remember: Blockminer never stores your private keys. Your wallet is your gateway to the game.

#### Step 2: Connect to the Game

1. Visit the official website: [**https://blockminer.pro**](https://blockminer.pro)
2. Click **Connect Wallet**.
3. Select Phantom or Solflare.
4. Approve the connection in your wallet popup.
5. You will now enter your **personal mining dashboard**.

#### Step 3: Understanding the Game Flow

* Start with a basic mining setup provided in the game.
* Mine **$MINER tokens** automatically through your rig.
* Visit the **Shop** to upgrade your components using either **$MINER** or **SOL**.
* Improve your hashrate and power to earn faster.
* Interact with the community via **Global Chat**.
* Compete with others on the **Leaderboard**.

#### Step 4: Token Conversion

* You can convert your in-game tokens into real value.
* Exchange $MINER ↔ SOL at a fixed rate:\
  **1 SOL = 1,000,000 $MINER**.
* Withdraw SOL to your personal wallet anytime.

Blockminer is designed to be easy to start but strategic to master. Over time, you will learn how to balance mining upgrades, trading decisions, and interaction with other players.
