Best Solana wallets for browser games
Picked a Solana game and not sure which wallet to use? Garden Dice works with Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack on mainnet. Try the free demo below without installing anything — then connect the wallet you already have (or scan a Solana Pay QR on mobile) and pay from 0.001 SOL for a verifiable roll.
Quick comparison
All three wallets work on Garden Dice. Use the one you already installed — switching wallets is optional.
| Wallet | Best for | Desktop connect | Solana Pay QR | Play guide |

Phantom — easiest if you are new
Phantom is the default recommendation for first-time Solana users. The browser extension connects in one click; the mobile app scans Solana Pay QR codes cleanly.
Solflare — strong on mobile
Solflare is popular outside the US and has a polished mobile app. If you already use Solflare for DeFi or staking, keep it — Garden Dice detects Solflare connect and Solana Pay the same way.
Backpack — for power users
Backpack targets traders and NFT collectors. If it is already your daily wallet, connect it on desktop or scan from the Backpack mobile app — no need to install Phantom.
How to pay on any wallet
- Demo first — use the panel above or Garden Dice to see commit-reveal fairness without spending SOL.
- Mainnet + balance — your wallet must be on Mainnet Beta with a little SOL (0.01 SOL is plenty to start). Network fees are tiny — see fee explainer.
- Desktop: open the Wallet tab in the pay panel, connect Phantom/Solflare/Backpack, pick 0.001 SOL, confirm.
- Mobile: open the Solana Pay tab, scan the QR with your wallet app, approve, then tap detect if needed.

FAQ
- Which wallet is fastest to set up?
- Phantom — largest tutorial ecosystem and the default in our wallet path. Solflare and Backpack are fine if you already use them.
- Can I switch wallets later?
- Yes. Garden Dice does not lock you to one wallet. Each roll is an independent SOL transfer to the public treasury.
- Is this gambling?
- No cash payouts. Pay-per-roll entertainment with provably fair hashing — not a casino.
