# Set Up Your Wallet

A **wallet** is your account for crypto. It holds your $STAG, your NFTs, and your ETH. You need one before you can buy, stake, or mint anything. This takes about **5 minutes**.

## Which wallet do I need?

Robinhood Chain is an **EVM (0x…) chain**, so you need an **EVM wallet**. The easiest:

* **MetaMask** — the most common. Works on phone (app) and computer (browser extension).
* **SafePal**, **Trust Wallet**, **Rabby** — also work great.

> **Are you a Solana person (Phantom, Solflare)?** You can *pay* with your Solana wallet when buying $STAG — but the $STAG/ETH lands on Robinhood Chain, which needs a **0x address**. So you'll *also* want an **EVM wallet** (like MetaMask) to *receive*. See [Buying with Solana](/stag-docs/buy-usdstag/from-solana.md).

## Step 1 — Install MetaMask

1. On phone: install **MetaMask** from the App Store / Google Play. On computer: get the extension from **metamask.io** (type it yourself — never click a link from a DM).
2. Open it, tap **Create a new wallet**.
3. It gives you a **Secret Recovery Phrase** (12 words). **Write these on paper. Never type them into any website. Never share them with anyone — not even "support."** Whoever has these words owns your money.
4. Done — you have a wallet with a **0x… address**.

## Step 2 — Add Robinhood Chain

Your wallet doesn't know about Robinhood Chain yet. Two ways:

**Easy way (recommended):**

1. Go to **stagwifhood.fun**, open any page like **Stake** or **Bridge**.
2. Tap **Connect Wallet**, then tap **"＋ Add RH Chain"** (or approve the network popup).
3. Approve in your wallet. Done.

**Manual way:**

1. In MetaMask: **Settings → Networks → Add Network → Add manually**.
2. Enter the details from [What is Robinhood Chain](/stag-docs/getting-started/robinhood-chain.md):
   * Network Name: `Robinhood Chain`
   * RPC URL: `https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com`
   * Chain ID: `4663`
   * Symbol: `ETH`
   * Explorer: `https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com`
3. Save.

## Step 3 — Get a little ETH for gas

Every action (stake, mint, claim) costs a tiny **gas fee** in ETH on Robinhood Chain. So you need a small amount of ETH *on Robinhood Chain* first. The easiest way to get it is the [**Bridge**](/stag-docs/buy-usdstag/how-to-buy.md) — use the **"Bridge to Robinhood"** tab to send a little ETH over.

## ✅ You're ready

Once you have: a wallet ➕ Robinhood Chain added ➕ a little ETH for gas — you can do **everything** in this guide. Next: [buy $STAG](/stag-docs/buy-usdstag/how-to-buy.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://stag.gitbook.io/stag-docs/getting-started/wallet-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
