Getting Started with SOL Safe
This guide will walk you through setting up SOL Safe and making your first automated trade on Solana. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes.
💡 Prerequisites: You'll need a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or any compatible wallet) with some SOL for trading and transaction fees.
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Visit solsafe.app and click the "Select Wallet" button. You'll see a list of supported wallets:
- Phantom - Most popular Solana wallet
- Solflare - Feature-rich web and mobile wallet
- Coinbase Wallet - Exchange-backed wallet
- Trust Wallet - Multi-chain mobile wallet
- Ledger - Hardware wallet support
- And many more...
Select your wallet and approve the connection request. SOL Safe will never ask for your private keys or seed phrase.
Step 2: Understand the Dashboard
Once connected, you'll see the main trading dashboard with several panels:
📊 W-Pattern
AI-detected chart patterns signaling potential reversals
🚀 Moonshots
New tokens with high potential based on smart filters
🐋 Shadow Trades
Trades copied from whale wallets you're tracking
Step 3: Configure Your Settings
Click the gear icon ⚙️ on any panel to configure its settings:
Essential Settings
- Buy Amount (SOL) - How much SOL to spend per trade (e.g., 0.1 SOL)
- Max Slippage (%) - Maximum price movement allowed during swap (10-20% recommended for memecoins)
- SOL Reserve - Minimum SOL to keep for transaction fees
- Auto-buy - Enable to automatically execute trades (requires approval)
Risk Management
- Min Market Cap - Only trade tokens above this market cap
- Min Liquidity - Only trade tokens with sufficient liquidity
- Max Age - For moonshots, filter by how new the token is
Step 4: Enable Signal Types
Toggle on the signal types you want to receive:
- Click the toggle button on a panel header to enable/disable it
- Enabled panels will start showing real-time signals
- Each signal card shows token info, price, and a "Buy" button
Step 5: Make Your First Trade
When you see a signal you like:
- Click the "Buy" button on the signal card
- Review the trade details in the modal (amount, slippage, estimated output)
- Click "Confirm Buy"
- Approve the transaction in your wallet
- Wait for confirmation - your new tokens will appear in your holdings
⚠️ Trading Fee: SOL Safe charges a 2.4% fee on trades (0.5% for Pro users). This fee is included in the transaction and shown in the trade preview.

Troubleshooting
Wallet won't connect
Make sure your wallet extension is installed and unlocked. Try refreshing the page and clicking connect again.
Transaction failed
This usually happens due to slippage. Try increasing your slippage setting to 15-20% for volatile memecoins.
Signal not showing
Ensure the panel is enabled (toggle is on) and your filters aren't too restrictive. Try lowering min market cap or increasing max age.
