# Creating SOL Wallet

This guide explains how to create your sollet.io wallet.

The first step is to create a [sollet.io](https://sollet.io) wallet, if you wish to use this wallet.

Your [sollet.io](https://sollet.io) wallet can be funded with **SOL** or **ETH** that will be converted to SOL using the **convert** function.

Once you arrive on [sollet.io](https://sollet.io) for the first time, you will see an option to create a new wallet. You will automatically be given a seed phrase (seed words).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Save your seed phrase offline and somewhere safe! Your seed words are the only way you can recover your wallet!

Once you have saved your seed words in a safe place, you can next create a wallet password.

Creating a wallet password is optional but highly recommended!
