Get started safely

1. A wallet

A wallet is an app that holds your tokens and signs on your behalf. Popular Solana wallets are Phantom, Solflare and Backpack. Install one only from its own official website or your phone's official app store, and check the publisher's name. A look-alike app or browser extension is the most common way people lose everything.

2. Your secret words

• The wallet shows you 12 or 24 secret words once. Write them on paper and keep the paper somewhere safe. Do not photograph them, email them or store them in a note.
• Nobody ever needs them. Not support, not an admin, not a "verification" page, not us. Anyone who asks is stealing.

3. The right network

While CHERRY is on devnet (a test network), your wallet must be switched to devnet to show it. In most wallets this is under Settings, then Developer settings (look for "testnet mode" or "devnet"). Menu names change between versions. Devnet tokens have no value, and a token you can see on the wrong network is a different token.

4. Find the real CHERRY by its address

1. Open Official CHERRY and copy the address shown there.
2. In your wallet, search or add the token by that address, never by the name. Many tokens share the name Cherry and the symbol CHERRY.
3. Check what your wallet shows: the name Wild Cherry Tokens, the symbol CHERRY, 6 decimals. If the name or the address differs by even one character, stop.

5. Check any token before you trust it

• The address matches the one on the project's own official page, which you reached by typing the address yourself, not from a link in a message.
• Open it in a block explorer (Solscan or Solana Explorer). Look at the authorities: for a token that promises a fixed supply and no freezing, "mint authority" and "freeze authority" should both be empty.
• loading…
• Nobody messaged you first. Nobody is in a hurry. Nobody pushed you to connect your wallet or sign something you cannot explain. (Our own claim page is a devnet test with no airdrop open, and you reach it from the official page, never from a message.)
• If you are unsure, do nothing. Waiting costs you nothing; a mistake can cost you everything.

6. If something goes wrong

If you signed or sent something you now doubt, stop. Move anything else in that wallet to a new wallet with a new set of secret words, and see Help for how to report it. We cannot reverse a transaction and will never ask you to send anything to get something back.
