Phantom

Made for Solana, the network ONE LIFE runs on.

Only from phantom.com or this button. Never from a search ad.

  1. Add it to your browser. On the store page, click the add button, then confirm.
  2. Create a wallet. Phantom opens a tab (or click its icon). Click “Create a New Wallet”, then “Create a Recovery Phrase Wallet”.Phantom also offers Google or Apple sign-up. That works too; this guide uses the phrase.
  3. Set a password. It unlocks Phantom in this browser only.
  4. Write the 12 words on paper, in order. No photo, no cloud. Anyone with these words owns the wallet. Click “I saved my Recovery Phrase” and confirm.
  5. Pick a username, then “Continue” and “Get Started”.Phantom’s username, not your hero’s name.
  6. Pin it. Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar, then the pin next to Phantom.
  7. Sign in. Open play.onelifegame.xyz and click Connect wallet. In Phantom, approve the connection, then the message “Sign in to ONE LIFE”. Done.
The alternative

MetaMask

Already have it? It works too. Every MetaMask account comes with a Solana address.

Only from metamask.io or this button. Never from a search ad.

  1. Add it to your browser. On the store page, click the add button, then confirm.
  2. Create a wallet. Click “Create a new wallet” and choose the Secret Recovery Phrase.
  3. Set a password. It unlocks MetaMask in this browser only.
  4. Write the 12 words on paper, in order, and confirm them. No photo, no cloud.
  5. Pin it. Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar, then the pin next to MetaMask.
  6. Nothing to add for Solana. MetaMask makes a Solana address for each account by itself.
  7. Sign in. Open play.onelifegame.xyz, click Connect wallet, then approve the connection and the sign-in message in MetaMask.

Solflare and Backpack work too: any Solana wallet that can sign a message.

Read this once

Keep your wallet yours.

  • ONE LIFE never asks for your recovery phrase or password. Not in the game, not on Discord, never.
  • Signing in costs nothing and moves nothing. It is a message, not a payment.
  • Never type your phrase into any site, chat or form. Anyone who asks for it is stealing.
  • Beware fake wallet ads at the top of search results. Use the buttons here or type the address yourself.
Troubleshooting

If it doesn’t work.

You

“No wallet found”

  • Refresh the game tab after installing.
  • Check the wallet is turned on in your browser’s Extensions page and allowed on all sites.
  • Private or incognito windows hide extensions.
  • Use the same browser profile you installed it in.
  • A school-managed laptop may block extensions: use your own.
You

No approval window

  • Click the wallet’s icon in the toolbar: the request waits there.
  • Unlock it with your password if it asks.
  • Still nothing? Click Connect wallet again.
You

Two wallets fighting

  • With both installed, ONE LIFE asks Phantom first.
  • Pick one. Turn the other off in the Extensions page.
  • Brave has a wallet built in. If it opens instead, set the default Solana wallet in Brave’s Settings, under Web3, to your extension.
You

Safari

  • Neither wallet works in Safari. Phantom lists Safari as unsupported, and MetaMask offers no Safari version.
  • On a Mac, play in Chrome (free from google.com/chrome). Edge and Brave work too.
You

Firefox

  • Phantom no longer supports Firefox and has stopped updating it there.
  • Use MetaMask on Firefox, or Phantom in Chrome.
You

On a phone

  • ONE LIFE plays on a computer.
  • Set up the wallet there, in the browser you will play in.
Stuck?

Ask in the Discord.

Someone will walk you through it. We will never ask for your phrase.
