Help & Getting Started

Welcome to the sale room

Solauction is an editorial auction house settled on Solana. Here's everything you need to bid your first lot, win it, and list one of your own.

Getting started

  1. 1. Connect a Phantom wallet

    Install the Phantom browser extension or mobile app, then click Sign in / Sign up and approve the signature request. Signing only proves wallet ownership — no SOL is spent. Solauction runs on Solana mainnet, so you'll need real SOL in your wallet to bid and settle.

  2. 2. Browse the catalogue

    The home page is the live catalogue. Filter by lot type, sort by ending soonest, highest bid or newest, and tap any card to open the full lot with photos, description, bid history and a live countdown.

  3. 3. Place a bid

    On a lot page, enter an amount equal to or above the next minimum bid and confirm in your wallet. Your bid is recorded on-chain and visible to everyone instantly. If someone outbids you, you'll see it update in real time.

  4. 4. Win and settle

    When the timer hits zero, the highest bidder wins. Settle by sending SOL to the seller's payout address from your Guest Dashboard. The transaction signature is verified on-chain and the lot is marked settled.

  5. 5. List your own lot

    Open List a Lot from the menu, upload images, set a starting price, reserve and end time, and add payout wallets. Once published, your lot appears in the catalogue and bidders can compete for it.
