Creating Your Account and Wallet
You hold your own wallet, and every action is a transaction you sign.
Two ways to sign in
| Method | What happens | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Spout creates a Solana wallet for you, linked to your email login. You sign transactions in the app. | People new to crypto wallets | |
| Existing wallet | Connect Phantom, Solflare, Backpack or another Solana wallet. On mobile you can connect with a QR code. | People who already hold assets on Solana |
One login is one account. You can link more than one wallet to your account, and your points from all of them add up in one balance.
Network fees
Every Solana transaction costs a small network fee, paid in SOL to the network, not to Spout. It is usually very small. Keep a small SOL balance, such as 0.01 SOL, so you can always sign, including to repay a loan.
Keeping your account safe
- Spout will never ask for your seed phrase or private key.
- Always check you are on app.spout.finance before you sign anything.
- Read what your wallet shows before you approve a transaction.
- If you use an email wallet, protect the email account with a strong password and two factor sign in.
