To complete actions like NFT transfers or other blockchain transactions, your wallet must have a small amount of SOL (Solana).
This guide will show you how to safely top up your wallet using common options.
What You’ll Need
Your Phantom wallet installed on your Chrome browser or mobile app.
A FrodoBots wallet imported into Phantom (if you’re topping up that specific wallet).
Internet connection and a small amount of funds to purchase SOL.
Recommended Minimum Balance
Keep at least 0.01 SOL (around $2–$3 USD) in your wallet to ensure all transactions complete successfully.
Option 1: Buy SOL Directly in Phantom
Open your Phantom wallet.
On the main screen, click Buy.
Choose your preferred payment method:
MoonPay (credit/debit card)
Topper
Follow the payment instructions to purchase SOL.
Once the transaction is complete, your balance will appear in your wallet (usually within a few minutes).
🧾 Note: Most providers charge small card or service fees.
Option 2: Transfer SOL from Another Exchange
If you already have crypto on an exchange (like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, or OKX):
Open the exchange where you hold SOL (or another crypto).
Buy or convert some funds into SOL.
Go to your Phantom wallet, click Deposit → Solana (SOL), and copy your wallet address.
Paste this address into your exchange’s Withdraw / Send section.
Choose the Solana network (SOL) — not ERC20 or others.
Enter the amount you want to send and confirm.
⚠️ Important: Always double-check that you selected the Solana network before sending. Sending to the wrong network may permanently lose your funds.
Option 3: Ask Another User to Send You SOL
If you only need a small amount (like 0.01 SOL) to cover network fees:
Copy your Solana wallet address from Phantom.
Share it with a trusted friend.
Once received, the balance will update automatically in Phantom.
