# Before Using SolSplits

{% hint style="info" %}
For a complete walkthrough of the smart contract generating process, please check out \[This future walkthrough that I'm placing here]
{% endhint %}

Before getting started with SolSplits, you'll need two things:

### 1. A Solana Wallet

A wallet is how you access your digital identity and serves as a portal to Web3.0. You can use your wallet to buy, sell, and transfer digital assets, and **passively receive income** without needing any significant interaction.

SolSplits recommends using the [Phantom Wallet App](https://phantom.app/)

### 2. Cryptocurrency

Creation of manual smart contracts on SolSplits requires a user to have SOL in their wallet to pay the fee for generating and storing contracts on-chain. SolSplits charges 0.005 SOL/transaction for manual transactions and contract modifications.

Creation of automatic smart contracts on SolSplits requires a user to have SOL in their wallet to pay the fee for generating and storing contracts on-chain. SolSplits does not charge a follow-on fee in SOL for any automatically-executed contracts, but takes a fee from the currency in which that contract is denominated.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.solsplits.xyz/essentials/getting-started/before-using-solsplits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
