What Solana games work with Phantom wallet?

Garden Dice is a wallet-native browser game on Solana mainnet. You can try a free demo without connecting Phantom, then pay from 0.001 SOL for an official on-chain roll via Phantom connect (desktop) or Solana Pay QR (mobile).

Do I need SOL in Phantom to try the demo?

No. The free demo roll works without a wallet or SOL. You only need funded Phantom on mainnet when you want a paid, verifiable on-chain result.

How much SOL does a roll cost?

Rolls start at 0.001 SOL plus a tiny network fee (typically under 0.00001 SOL on Solana). You choose up to 0.01 SOL per roll.

Is Garden Dice a casino?

No. It is pay-per-roll entertainment with provably fair commit-reveal hashing — no cash payouts or house odds.

Do I need extra SOL for network fees?

Yes — keep a little extra beyond the roll. The base Solana network fee is about 0.000005 SOL per transfer, so a 0.001 SOL roll costs roughly 0.001005 SOL total.

I have SOL in Phantom but payment says insufficient — why?

Your total balance can include SOL locked as rent in empty token accounts from spam airdrops. Close them to reclaim about 0.002 SOL each — only spendable SOL counts for payments.

Step 1 — Try the demo (no Phantom needed)

Use the demo panel above or open Garden Dice.
Click Free demo roll. Note the commit hash shown before you roll — the server cannot change the outcome afterward.
After rolling, the server seed is revealed. You can verify the math or read how provably fair dice works.

Step 2 — Prepare Phantom on mainnet

Before paying, confirm Phantom is ready:

Mainnet Beta — not devnet. See switch Phantom to mainnet if your balance looks wrong.
Some SOL — rolls start at 0.001 SOL plus a small fee. See how to get SOL in Phantom.
Site permissions — first connect may ask you to approve solana.garden. See connect Phantom to a dApp.

Network fees are tiny on Solana — usually under 0.00001 SOL per transaction. See Solana transaction fees if you are worried about having enough for fees plus the roll.

Step 3 — Connect Phantom and pay

Use the pay panel above when you are ready:

Desktop — open the Wallet tab, click Connect, choose Phantom, and approve. Pick 0.001 SOL (or up to 0.01), then confirm the transfer.
Mobile — open the Solana Pay tab, scan the QR with Phantom, approve the amount, then tap I've paid — detect and roll if needed.

Payment stuck? See insufficient SOL, transaction failed, or Solana Pay troubleshooting.

Step 4 — Verify and challenge friends

Paid rolls are verifiable on mainnet — match the server seed to the commit hash and open the transaction on Solscan. Share a beat-my-roll challenge link so friends try a free demo, then pay to beat your roll.

Stuck at payment?

If Phantom says insufficient SOL even though your balance looks fine, part of it may be rent-locked in empty token accounts from spam airdrops — only spendable SOL counts for payments.

Reclaim Solana rent — close empty token accounts and recover about 0.002 SOL each.
Solana wallet cleanup — hide spam tokens, reclaim rent, and check spendable balance.
Phantom insufficient SOL — balance, fees, and retry steps.
Phantom transaction failed — wrong network, cancelled approval, or detection lag.
Solana Pay not working — QR scan, wrong amount, or paid-but-not-detected on mobile.
