FAQ - How to Buy Algorand with Solflare Wallet

What do I need before buying Algorand?Collapse

To buy Algorand, you need:
  • A Solflare Wallet (mobile app or browser extension — setup guide)
  • Some SOL or another SPL token in your wallet for swapping
Fiat purchase is not available for this token — you can only swap using crypto. Solana transaction fees are typically a fraction of a cent.

What if Algorand doesn't show up after purchase?Expand

Your Algorand should appear in your wallet automatically after purchase. If it doesn't:
  1. Tap "Add new asset" in your Solflare wallet under "Tokens"
  2. Paste the Algorand contract address or name in the search bar
  3. Confirm and refresh your wallet view
If the token still doesn't show up, check the transaction status on Solscan and ensure you used the correct network and wallet address.

Are there any risks or fees when buying Algorand?Expand

Swapping tokens in Solflare includes a small network fee (paid in SOL) and a DEX trading fee, both typically very low on Solana. If buying with fiat, fees are set by the payment provider (e.g., MoonPay or Stripe) and may vary by region and payment method.

Always verify token details and amounts before confirming. For unverified tokens, Solflare displays on-chain risk data to help you assess potential concerns before trading.

Can I store Algorand on a hardware wallet?Expand

Yes. Solflare supports hardware wallet integration, allowing you to store Algorand with an extra layer of security. Hardware wallets keep your private keys offline—even if your computer is compromised, your tokens remain protected.

You can purchase a Solflare-compatible hardware wallet from the Solflare Shop. Once connected, you can still swap, send, and manage Algorand directly through Solflare while your keys stay on the hardware device.

Can I send Algorand privately after buying?Expand

Yes. Solflare includes a built-in Privacy Aggregator that lets you send Algorand without publicly linking your wallet to the recipient on-chain. Private Send is optional, disabled by default, and can be enabled per transaction—on both mobile and browser extension. No external tools or additional wallets needed.

How much does it cost to swap Algorand on Solflare?Expand

Swapping Algorand on Solflare involves two small costs: a Solana network fee (typically under $0.01) and a DEX routing fee. Solflare uses smart order routing across all major Solana DEXes to find the best available price, minimizing slippage. There are no hidden Solflare platform fees—what you see in the swap preview is what you pay.
