Sufficient SOL balance for transactions and staking

Wallet Setup Guide

Installing a Solana Wallet

Phantom Wallet (Recommended)

Visit phantom.app and click "Download"
Install the browser extension for your preferred browser
Create a new wallet or import an existing one using your seed phrase
Set a strong password and store your seed phrase securely
Fund your wallet with SOL from a centralized exchange

Alternative Wallets

Solflare: Advanced features and hardware wallet support

Wallet Security Best Practices

⚠️ Security Warning

Never share your seed phrase with anyone
Store your seed phrase offline in a secure location
Use a hardware wallet for large amounts
Always verify transaction details before signing
Be cautious of phishing websites and fake applications

Staking Guide

Step-by-Step Staking Process

Connect Your Wallet
Navigate to the staking page and click "Connect Wallet". Select your wallet provider and approve the connection request. Ensure you're on the correct network (Solana Mainnet).
Choose Staking Amount
Enter the amount of SOL you wish to stake. The minimum requirement is 5 SOL. You can click "Max" to stake your entire available balance minus transaction fees.
Review Staking Details
Review the estimated annual rewards, conservation contribution, and lock period. Ensure all details are correct before proceeding.
Confirm Transaction
Click "Stake SOL" and confirm the transaction in your wallet. The transaction will be processed on the Solana blockchain, typically taking 1-2 seconds.
Track Your Stake
Once confirmed, your stake will appear in the "Active Stakes" section. You can monitor your rewards and conservation impact through the dashboard.

Understanding Rewards

SOL Staking Rewards

Native Solana staking rewards: 5-7% APY
Paid in SOL tokens
Distributed automatically every epoch (~2 days)
Compounding rewards increase over time

REEF Token Rewards

Additional platform rewards: 3-5% APY
Paid in REEF tokens
Used for governance and platform features
Tradeable on supported DEX platforms

Unstaking Process

Unstaking your SOL involves a cooldown period due to Solana's staking mechanism:

Navigate to your dashboard and click "Unstake SOL"
Enter the amount you wish to unstake
Confirm the unstaking transaction
Wait for the cooldown period (typically 2-3 days)
Claim your unstaked SOL once the cooldown is complete

Note: During the cooldown period, your SOL will not earn staking rewards. Plan your unstaking accordingly.

Conservation Impact Tracking

How Conservation Funding Works

15% of all SOL staking rewards are automatically allocated to verified ocean conservation projects. This creates a sustainable funding stream that grows with the platform while requiring no additional cost from users.

Funding Allocation Process

Staking rewards are earned from Solana validators
15% is automatically transferred to the conservation fund
Funds are distributed to active conservation projects
Project impact is tracked and reported in real-time
Community votes on new project funding priorities

Project Verification Process

Initial Vetting

Scientific review of project methodology
Financial audit of organization
Environmental impact assessment
Local community consultation
Regulatory compliance verification

Ongoing Monitoring

Monthly progress reports
Satellite imagery analysis
Third-party impact verification
Financial transparency audits
Community feedback collection

Impact Metrics

Quantitative Metrics

Square meters of reef restored
Tons of plastic removed from oceans
Number of marine species protected
Carbon sequestration achieved
Water quality improvements

Qualitative Metrics

Ecosystem health improvements
Biodiversity recovery rates
Community engagement levels
Scientific research contributions
Long-term sustainability indicators

const stakingProgramId = new PublicKey('5xjPzMRJHnNPMQfRJ8LMjMJULbQu6nMM1xzuQGYwwd7q');

// Create staking transaction
const stakeAmount = 10; // 10 SOL
const transaction = await program.methods
  .stake(new BN(stakeAmount * LAMPORTS_PER_SOL))
  .accounts({
    user: wallet.publicKey,
    stakingAccount: stakingAccountPDA,
    systemProgram: SystemProgram.programId,
  })
  .transaction();

// Sign and send transaction
const signature = await wallet.sendTransaction(transaction, connection);
await connection.confirmTransaction(signature);

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Wallet Connection Issues

Ensure wallet extension is installed and enabled
Check that you're on the Solana Mainnet network
Try refreshing the page and reconnecting
Clear browser cache and cookies if issues persist

Transaction Failures

Ensure sufficient SOL balance for transaction fees
