# Solana

1. **Let the user decide what name they want**

<figure><img src="/files/0RvG1cLL8QtO3CQGhE23" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You'll want to provide some sort of input box that allows a user to see if the name they want is available.

2. **Check if the name is valid**

There are some restrictions for registering a name. In short, the name must fit in 32 bytes, must not have a space, or a /.

```javascript
import { isNameValid } from "@clustersxyz/sdk"

const validName = "clusters";
console.log(isNameValid(validName)); // true

const invalidName = "c/c/c/c";
console.log(isNameValid(invalidName)); // false
```

3. **Once you know the name is valid, make sure the name is not taken**

```javascript
import { isNameValid } from "@clustersxyz/sdk"

const name = "clusters";
const nameAvailability = await clusters.getNameAvailability([name]);
console.log(nameAvailability[0].isAvailable) // false
```

4. **Get the raw transaction data for the on-chain transaction**

This call will get you the on-chain transaction data to register the names you want at the minimum registration fee of 0.01 ETH (converted to lamports).

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to impose a specific registration amount, you can do so in the names array. Input these amounts in Wei and they'll be converted to SOL. Check out the documentation on [getting the transaction data](/getting-started/javascript/registration.md#getregistrationtransaction-names-sender-network) to learn more.
{% endhint %}

```javascript
const names = [{ name: 'mynewname' }];
const signerAddress = 'A59..iHqw';
const data = await clusters.getRegistrationTransactionSolana(names, signerAddress);
```

5. **You can now display the registration fee**

```typescript
import { LAMPORTS_PER_SOL } from '@solana/web3.js';

const registrationFee = Number(data.registrationFee) / LAMPORTS_PER_SOL;

// Total Registration fee: 0.2248 SOL
console.log(`Total Registration fee: ${registrationFee} ${data.gasToken.symbol}`);
```

6. **Submit the transaction**

```javascript
// Example of a solana provider
// https://docs.phantom.app/solana/detecting-the-provider
const solanaProvider = window.phantom?.solana;

for (const transaction of data.transactionData) {
   const deserializedMessage = web3.VersionedMessage.deserialize(
      Buffer.from(transaction, 'base64')
   );
   const newTransaction = new web3.VersionedTransaction(deserializedMessage);
   
   const signedTransaction = await $Wallet.solanaProvider.signTransaction(newTransaction);
   const signature = await connection.sendTransaction(signedTransaction);
}
```

7. **Track the status of the transaction**

Once the transaction is submitted, you can check when the registration has been processed. An alternative method is pinging the `getNameAvailability()` function to see when the name becomes taken.

```javascript
const getStatus = await clusters.getTransactionStatus(signature);
console.log(getStatus.status) // finalized
```
