# Setup Your Stache

In order to use Stache, you will need a Solana wallet. \
\
For those new to crypto or Solana we suggest using [Solflare](https://solflare.com/) or [Phantom](https://phantom.app/) wallet.

### Transaction Fees

Stache operates on the Solana blockchain, so you will need $SOL tokens to use the app. You can purchase $SOL tokens from various cryptocurrency exchanges such as [Binance](https://www.binance.com/) or [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/).

## Create your Stache

$SOL is needed to complete the setup of your Stache on the blockchain.\
\
We recommend having at least **0.02 $SOL** in your wallet to cover the cost.

### Connect your favorite Solana wallet

## 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.stache.io/stache/setup-your-stache.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.
