Orca is a decentralized protocol that facilitates trades on Solana, as Orca is non-custodial when you trade tokens the protocol will interact directly with your wallet.

Get some SOL Orca is built on the Solana blockchain, so you need SOL in your wallet to pay network fees. Transactions may fail if you do not maintain a minimum balance of 0.05 SOL. To obtain some SOL either:
1. Purchase SOL on a centralized exchange of your choice, or...
2. Purchase SOL through a fiat on-ramp service, these are integrated into some wallets.
(optional) Move SOL to your wallet If you went for the centralized exchange option you need to move the SOL to your wallet. The exact methods vary wallet to wallet but typically involve the following.
1. Click Deposit or Receive.
2. Select/find SOL.
3. Copy/scan the deposit address.
4. Use this address to withdraw your SOL from the centralized exchange.
  Important: confirm that the deposit address is correct and the selected withdrawal method is Solana SPL. It is sensible to test with a small amount first.
