Getting Started
Like everything else on Helix, we've tried to make getting started as easy, and user-friendly as possible. If you're a beginner, new to the world of decentralized token swaps, yield generation, and self-banking, follow some of the starter tips on this page. If you struggle with anything, join Discord, and ask the community!
To interact with Helix, or any DeFi platform, you will need to set up a decentralized wallet. Never share the setup and recovery details with anyone, & store them safely!
Setting Up A Wallet
No matter your reasons for using Helix, you're going to need at least one decentralized wallet to hold your tokens, and other cryptoassets. If you aim to trade, farm, and stake on the Helix platform, you're going to need an Ethereum-friendly wallet, such as Metamask. To engage in NFT cross-chaining from Solana, you will need to hold NFT's in a Solana-based Phantom wallet.
We've provided setup guides for both wallets, which can be found below.
Don't forget to fund your wallet with an amount of native currency for gas costs, on Ethereum this is paid in ETH, and on Solana, SOL.
Using The Features On Helix
After setting yourself up with a wallet, it would make sense to familiarize yourself with the features found on the platform, and the ways in which you can begin to use Helix to earn yield. We've provided short guides on each area of the platform, happy reading!
