# Getting Started

## What you need

To use Wick, you'll need:

* A Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or any wallet that supports Solana dApps)
* Some SOL in your wallet for the deposit and a small amount for transaction fees
* Access to the Wick app at [lantern.one/wick](https://lantern.one/wick)

## Connecting your wallet

When you open the Wick page, you'll see a "Connect Wallet" button. Click it and select your wallet provider. Once connected, the app will display your SOL balance and any existing positions you have.

## Your first deposit

1. Enter the amount of SOL you want to deposit
2. Choose which token you want to receive yield in (CRT, USDC, USDT, HYPE, ZEC, xSOL, WBTC, EURC or USD\*)
3. Click "Deposit SOL"
4. Approve the transaction in your wallet

That's it. Your SOL gets staked and deposited into the Wick vault in a single transaction. You'll start accumulating yield in your chosen token right away.

## What happens next

After depositing, you'll see your position appear below the deposit form. It shows:

* How much SOL (denominated in lanternSOL) you have deposited
* The estimated APY you're earning
* Any claimable yield that's ready to collect

As yield accumulates, you can claim it to your wallet whenever you want. There's no minimum claim amount and no lockup period on your principal.
