One free app. Sign up with Google. That's the whole thing.
Setting up a wallet is free and takes about two minutes — a wallet is just the mailbox your
prize money arrives in. Phantom lets you sign up with your Google account —
no password, no seed phrase, nothing to write down.

Your Solana address is a long string of letters and numbers:
BtETjB9kQ2wRxYaZ7fN3pHvU6cMdLe8sTgKpXbm1oGdY
It is safe to share. An address can only receive — nobody can move anything out with it.

Enter the poolPaste your address, make your picks, submit.
You're done with the wallet. Now go to pylonpools.com in any browser — Safari, Chrome, whatever you use — paste your address into the payout field, make your picks, and hit Submit. That's it, you're in.
Prefer to stay in one app? Phantom has a browser built in — tap the search bar, type pylonpools.com, choose Visit site, and enter right there.
Getting paid costs you nothing. Prizes arrive in USDC — a digital dollar, 1 USDC = $1 —
straight to your address. No fees, no buying anything first. Watch it land yourself on
solscan.io.
The one rule of crypto: if you ever use a 12-word recovery phrase, it IS your wallet — never type it
into a website, DM it, or screenshot it. Phantom will never ask you for it — and neither will Pylon. Ever.
Quick answers
Is it safe to give Pylon my address?
Yes. An address can only receive. Moving money out requires your keys, which never leave Phantom.
What is USDC exactly?
A stablecoin pegged to the US dollar — 1 USDC = $1. It's how we pay prizes. Hold it, send it, or cash out through an exchange.
I won but haven't set up a wallet — am I stuck?
No. Set up Phantom after the leaderboard posts and send us your address — anytime within the 30-day claim window.
