Follow the same best practices you would for any Solana launch. Protect your keys, verify the mint, and let the aggregator do the routing heavy lifting.
1
Set up a Solana wallet
- Install a trusted wallet extension such as Phantom, Backpack, or Solflare.
- Create a new wallet or import an existing one, and back up your recovery phrase offline.
- Enable auto-approval only for sites you trust; keep spending limits tight during launch week.
2
Fund with SOL
- Buy SOL on a centralized exchange or bridge from another chain.
- Transfer SOL to your self-custody wallet, leaving a small buffer (0.01–0.05 SOL) for network fees.
- Confirm the transfer appears in your wallet before proceeding.
3
Use an aggregator
- Head to Cocky Wings for a battle-tested Solana swap flow.
- Connect your wallet and search for $APPREESH using the mint address from our homepage.
- Aggressive launch drops move fast; double-check slippage before executing the trade.
4
Execute the swap
- Review route details, output estimates, and fees.
- Approve the transaction in your wallet and wait for the confirmation toast.
- If the trade stalls, refresh the aggregator route or lower your slippage before retrying.
5
Verify and store
- Add $APPREESH to your wallet asset list so the balance displays.
- Bookmark the Tribute dapp and the Tokenomics page for future reference.
- Consider splitting holdings between hot wallets and a hardware-backed signer for long-term stewardship.
Launch Week Reminders
- Always confirm mint addresses from official channels before swapping.
- Never share your seed phrase—no real helper will ask for it.
- Watch for fake sites that spoof the Cocky Wings domain or the $APPREESH brand.
- Keep gas in the wallet. Tribute flows and raffles need SOL for rent and fees.
