Quick start
TIDE running.

The shortest way from the zip to TIDE running in Chrome or on a simulator. TIDE needs no account, no key and no backend to start. If Flutter is not installed yet, do Requirements first.

01Before you start

  • flutter --version answers and shows Flutter 3.41 or newer (Dart 3.11).
  • flutter doctor shows no red errors for the platform you want to try (Chrome is the fastest).
Nothing to sign up for

TIDE runs on public, keyless endpoints out of the box: Jupiter for swaps, Dexscreener for prices and a public Solana RPC. They are rate-limited and fine for a first look, not for production. You add your own endpoint later (Configuration).

02The ten minutes

  1. Unzip and open a terminalPut the folder somewhere without spaces, for example ~/projects/tide, and cd into it.
  2. Install packages
    flutter pub get
  3. Run it in Chrome
    flutter run -d chrome
    Or start an iOS simulator or Android emulator first and run flutter run.
  4. Check the code (optional)
    flutter analyze
flutter test
    Both should finish without errors. One test needs a Git repository; run git init && git add . && git commit -m original first (why).

03What you should see

  • The welcome screen with Create a wallet and an import option. Create a test wallet and write the seed phrase down; it is a test wallet, but treat it like a real one.
  • The feed is empty. Nothing is pre-loaded: paste any Solana address into the search box and follow it.
  • The swap confirm sheet says App fee: None. That is expected: the fee is off until you set it (Setting up earnings).
  • On the web build the SOL balance loads but SPL token balances do not, until you set your own RPC endpoint. The wallet screen says so (why).
