Getting Started with ZaphWork

Your complete guide to creating an account and starting your journey on ZaphWork

Create Your Account

ZaphWork offers two easy ways to create your account. Choose the option that works best for you.

Option 1: Sign Up with Email

Quick and Easy: Simply enter your email address and create a password. We'll automatically create a secure Solana wallet for you.
Automatic Wallet: Your embedded wallet is created instantly and secured with your password. You can export the seed phrase anytime to use with other Solana wallets.
Best For: Users new to crypto who want the simplest onboarding experience.

Option 2: Connect Your Wallet

Use Your Existing Wallet: Connect any Solana wallet like Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack. You maintain full control of your private keys.
Full Control: Your wallet stays in your control. We never have access to your private keys or seed phrase.
Best For: Experienced crypto users who already have a Solana wallet.

💡 Pro Tip:

Both methods are equally secure. Email signup is faster for beginners, while wallet connection gives you immediate control over your private keys.

Fund Your Wallet with USDC

ZaphWork uses USDC (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar) for all payments. Here's how to get USDC into your wallet.

Step 1: Get Your Wallet Address

1
Go to your ZaphWork dashboard and click on your wallet balance in the top right corner.
2
Click "Receive" to see your wallet address. This is where you'll send USDC.
3
Copy your wallet address or scan the QR code with your mobile wallet.

Step 2: Purchase USDC

You can buy USDC from several sources:

Crypto Exchanges: Buy USDC on Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance, then withdraw to your ZaphWork wallet address (make sure to select Solana network).
On-Ramp Services: Use services like MoonPay or Transak to buy USDC directly with a credit card and send it to your wallet.
Peer-to-Peer: If you already have crypto, you can swap it for USDC on Solana using Jupiter or Raydium.

⚠️ Important:

Always make sure you're sending USDC on the Solana network. Sending USDC on other networks (Ethereum, Polygon, etc.) will result in lost funds.

Step 3: Verify Your Balance

Once you've sent USDC to your wallet, it should appear in your ZaphWork balance within a few seconds. Solana transactions are extremely fast!
