Six actions. Not lessons — actions. Each one links to the full lesson if you want to go deeper, but you do not need to read it to complete the step.
Your own Solana wallet whose keys you control, crypto in it, and the experience of moving and swapping that crypto yourself. This is not earnings — it is the entry. The yield mechanics start later and are not on this list.
About 45 minutes of actual work. But identity verification sits between steps 1 and 3, and it can take anywhere from minutes to a couple of days, entirely outside your control. That is why we do not promise "in 30 minutes" — the promise would be untrue.
Whatever you decide to deposit, plus exchange and network fees. For a first attempt use an amount you could afford to lose entirely — you are learning the mechanics, and mistakes at this stage are normal and cheap when the amount is small.
Pick one exchange and create an account. You will need an ID document — that is normal and legally required in the EU. The course uses Nexo because it has free SEPA transfers and one free withdrawal per month.
Your account is verified and you can see your euro balance (zero for now).
Verification can take anywhere from minutes to a couple of days — that is outside your control and ours. While you wait, you can do steps 2 and 3.
Install Jupiter Wallet (Solana). When you create the wallet you will get a sequence of 12 or 24 words — the seed phrase. Write it down ON PAPER and keep it where you keep important documents.
The seed phrase is on paper, checked word by word, and the wallet reopens without you having to type it.
This step cannot be skipped. The seed phrase is the only way to recover access — no exchange, no support desk and nobody else can restore it. Do not photograph it, do not store it on your phone, do not email it to yourself.
Transfer an amount you could afford to lose entirely to the exchange, then buy SOL. For a first attempt any amount that does not matter to you is fine — you are learning the mechanics, not earning.
Your exchange balance shows SOL instead of euros.
On small amounts the exchange fee is large in percentage terms. That is expected — you are paying to learn, not buying a service.
Send the smallest possible amount to your own wallet. Copy the wallet address, paste it on the exchange, check the first and last four characters, and only then send.
The test amount shows up in your wallet. Usually within seconds.
Always send a test amount first. A crypto transfer cannot be reversed — no button will return the funds if the address is wrong.
Once the test arrives, send the remainder to the same address on the same network.
The full amount is in your wallet. From this moment you control it, not the exchange.
Inside the wallet, swap a small part of your SOL into USDC. This is the first action you take yourself, with no exchange in the middle.
Your wallet shows two assets instead of one, and you know what the network fee cost.
