Solana wallet and transfer guides
A wallet helps you inspect accounts and approve actions. Begin with its signing and recovery model, then follow the transfer guide for the asset you want to send. Keep the transaction signature so you can check the result.
Prepare your account
- Wallet setup and signing
Set up a Solana wallet, understand its recovery method and learn to read connection, message and transaction requests before using applications.
- Hardware wallets and recovery
Understand hardware signing, connect a supported wallet, preserve the correct backup and diagnose missing Solana accounts after recovery.
Send and check a transfer
- Send SOL
Prepare a SOL transfer, review the amount and fees, then check the signature and balance changes. Includes a complete worked payment example.
- Send USDC on Solana
Verify the Solana USDC mint, prepare the receiving account and send a payment. Learn where SOL fees and token-account creation fit into the transfer.
- Transaction troubleshooting
Diagnose a missing payment step by step. Separate wallet signing, RPC submission, execution errors, token receipt and an exchange’s internal credit.
Manage permissions and incidents
- Token approvals and revocation
Learn what a token delegate can do, which account stores the approval and why disconnecting a site differs from revoking an onchain permission.
- Respond to a wallet compromise
Distinguish a lost connection, token delegate, changed authority and exposed recovery phrase. Plan a replacement wallet and preserve incident evidence.
