Download it only from the official Chrome Web Store – searching "Solflare extension" on Google and clicking the first ad is a common phishing trap. After installing, click the extension icon and select "Create a new vault". This generates a 12-word secret phrase; write it on paper with a pen. Do not store it in a screenshot, cloud note, or text file – that phrase controls all your assets. Your next step is defining the vault password. This must be at least 8 characters with one number and one special symbol. This password only unlocks the local extension on this specific device – it is not your seed. If you lose this password, you must re-enter the 12-word phrase; if you lose the phrase, your funds are permanently inaccessible. After confirmation, the interface shows your public address starting with "0x..." You can now receive NEAR or any NEP-141 token on the NEAR Protocol. You need a small quantity of NEAR, approximately 0.1 NEAR, to cover storage costs for your first transaction. Buy this on a centralized exchange like Kraken or Coinbase, then withdraw it directly to your Solflare address. Do not test with a large sum. Wait 2-3 minutes for the network confirmation. Once the balance appears inside Solflare, your account is operational and ready to interact with dApps like Ref Finance or Paras. For security: enable the "auto-lock" feature in settings with a 1-minute timer. Disconnect the extension from any website after finishing a swap or mint. Never paste your seed phrase into any website popup or form. If a site asks you to "verify wallet" by entering your phrase, it is a scam. Only use the extension's own "Import wallet" option for recovery – nothing else. Meteor Wallet Setup Guide for Beginners 2025 Download the browser extension solely from the official Chrome Web Store listing verified by NEAR Protocol’s domain. Check the publisher is listed as “NEAR Protocol” with over 100,000 users and no recent malware flags. Avoid any clone or “ad-supported” variant–these are phishing traps. Once installed, click the extension icon and select “Create New Account.” Write down the 12-word recovery phrase on paper only; never screenshot, email, or paste it into any digital file. Store this paper in a fireproof safe separate from your computer. After securing the recovery phrase, set a strong password between 12 and 20 characters mixing uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbols like `!` or `#`. This password encrypts the local browser storage–if someone accesses your computer, they still cannot move funds without it. Choose “Mainnet” explicitly during initialization; testnet tokens hold zero real value and confuse new users. Verify the network by checking the RPC endpoint displayed: it must read `https://rpc.mainnet.near.org`. Any deviation indicates a malicious fork or misconfigured node. Fund your account only with NEAR tokens purchased from a regulated exchange like Kraken or Coinbase–avoid peer-to-peer swaps from unknown sources. Your corresponding NEAR address starts with a `.near` suffix (e.g., `yourname.near`), which you register during setup for a one-time fee of roughly 0.05 NEAR (~$0.20 at current rates). Transfer a minimum of 1 NEAR to cover initial transaction fees for smart contract interactions. Do not store more than 10% of your total crypto holdings in this hot storage; shift larger sums to a hardware ledger like Ledger Nano X for cold protection.

Confirm the transaction shows a green checkmark on Nearblocks.io within 2 seconds; any delay indicates network congestion or corrupted extension data. Disable automatic approval for dApp connections; manually review each permission request for smart contract access. Revoke unused permissions monthly via the “Connected Sites” menu to prevent dormant contracts from draining your balance. Close the extension when idle–this blocks background script injection attacks targeting browser extensions without user interaction. Installing the Meteor Wallet Extension on Chrome or Firefox Open Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons page directly, then search for the specific extension using its full name as registered on the official Near Protocol documentation. Verify the publisher is "Near Protocol" and check that the extension has over 100,000 users with a rating above 4.5 stars. Click "Add to Chrome" or "Add to Firefox" and confirm the permission prompt that requests access to "read and change data on near.org" – this permission is mandatory for signing transactions. After installation, the extension icon (a purple circle) appears in your browser toolbar; right-click it and select "Pin to toolbar" to keep it accessible. Open the extension by clicking the icon, then create a new account by selecting "Create new ID" – skip the "Import" option unless you have a recovery phrase ready from another source. The extension will generate a 12-word seed phrase: write these words down on paper only, store them in a physical safe, and never photograph or digitally store them. After securing the seed phrase, set a local password of at least 12 characters combining uppercase, numbers, and special symbols – this password only encrypts the extension on your current device and does not replace the recovery phrase. Test the recovery phrase by entering three random words from your list when prompted during the confirmation step. Once verified, the extension auto-generates a public address starting with "near" (e.g., near1abcde) which you can copy to receive tokens. For Chrome users expecting heavy usage, enable the "Allow access to file URLs" toggle in chrome://extensions to let the extension interact with local decentralized applications. On Firefox, go to about:addons, open the extension's preferences, and activate "Run in Private Windows" to maintain functionality in private browsing sessions. Restart the browser, then confirm the extension loads automatically without manual intervention by opening a new tab and clicking the icon. Creating a New Wallet and Securing Your 12-Word Recovery Phrase Open the application and select the option to generate a fresh vault. The interface will display a set of 12 words in a specific order. Write these words down on paper using a pen–never store them in a screenshot, cloud service, or note-taking app. A single typo or misplacement of a word makes that phrase useless for restoring your holdings. Your 12-word sequence is the sole key to your crypto; losing it means permanent loss of access. Store the paper in a fireproof safe or a bank deposit box. Avoid photographing it, typing it on any device, or saying it aloud near a smart speaker. Do not store the phrase in a password manager that syncs to the cloud–use only offline, physical media. Verify the phrase during the confirmation screen: The app will ask you to re-enter a few random words from your sequence. This step ensures you transcribed it correctly. If you fail this verification, repeat the process with a new vault. Add a passphrase (optional but recommended): Some vaults allow an extra word you choose, called a BIP39 passphrase. This creates a completely different private key. Write this passphrase separately from the 12 words. Without it, the 12 words alone unlock an empty account. Create redundant physical copies: Write the phrase on two separate sheets of acid-free paper. Store one in your residence and one in a trusted secondary location (e.g., a safety deposit box). Never share your 12 words with any third party, support service, or pop-up window requesting them. If someone claims to be from the application’s team and asks for the phrase, they are a scammer. Legitimate tools never ask for this seed. Test your backup before depositing any coins. Delete the vault from your device, then restore it using your 12-word sheet. If the vault loads with a zero balance and the correct address format, your backup works. Perform this test twice to eliminate human error during transcription. After confirming the backup, immediately add small amounts only–enough to verify you can send and receive. Then increase deposits once you are confident the phrase is both secure and functional. Do not store large sums until you have practiced a full restore cycle. Funding Your Deposit SOL or Transfer from an Exchange Buy SOL directly on a decentralized exchange like Jupiter Aggregator using a fiat on-ramp provider such as MoonPay or Banxa. This bypasses the need for a centralized intermediary entirely, confirming your deposit within seconds via a simple card payment or Apple Pay. For transfers from an existing exchange account (e.g., Coinbase, Kraken, Binance), copy your SOL receiving address from your Solana account interface, not the public key from a different network. Log into your exchange, navigate to the SOL withdrawal section, paste that exact address, and double-check the network is set to Solana mainnet. A single typo or wrong network selection (like sending ERC-20 SOL) can irreversibly slash your funds. Always initiate a test transaction with a tiny amount (0.01 SOL or roughly $0.50) before moving your entire balance. This confirms the address and network compatibility, protecting you from costly errors. Most exchanges finalize SOL withdrawals in under 30 seconds, though network congestion occasionally extends it to 5 minutes. Minimum deposits vary: MoonPay requires a $10 minimum, while a direct SOL transfer from an exchange has no lower bound except the network fee (typically 0.000005 SOL, negligible). Avoid transferring assets with low liquidity or high volatility–stick to SOL or USDC for initial funding since these pair directly with almost every Solana application. Important: SPL tokens (like USDC or BONK) cannot be deposited directly from a centralized exchange to your account without first having a small SOL balance to cover rent exemptions. Keep at least 0.01 SOL as “gas” for any token operations or transaction fees. Without this, incoming token transfers will fail. If your exchange supports “Solana Pay” (like Binance or Crypto.com), use the QR code scanner feature inside your interface to obtain the exact address with a checksum–this eliminates copy-paste errors. For mobile exchanges, scan the QR from your computer screen, not a screenshot, to ensure the link stays valid. For large deposits exceeding 100 SOL, break the transfer into three separate transactions spaced 5 minutes apart to reduce the risk of a single point failure (e.g., a stuck mempool or exchange maintenance). Track each deposit using a Solana block explorer like Solscan–enter your key address to see real-time confirmations, typically within 8 seconds. After the funds arrive, verify the balance reflects immediately. If it does not appear within 60 seconds, check that you deposited to the correct Solana mainnet address and that the transaction has at least 1 confirmation. Contact the exchange’s support with the transaction signature (TXID) if it is missing, providing them the exact timestamp and amount. Q&A: I clicked "Create Wallet" and saw a seed phrase. Do I need to enter that seed phrase every time I want to use Meteor Wallet on my computer? No. You enter the seed phrase only once during the initial setup. After that, Meteor Wallet sets a local password on your browser or phone. Each time you open the wallet, you just type that local password to unlock it. The local password encrypts the wallet data on your device. If you clear your browser cache or reinstall the app, you will need to restore the wallet using your seed phrase again. So, the seed phrase is for full recovery, while the local password is for daily convenience.
