Solana Wallet
A software application that stores Solana private keys and signs on-chain transactions.
Definition
A Solana wallet is a software application that stores a user's private keys and allows them to sign transactions on the Solana blockchain. Wallets do not actually store tokens — tokens are held on-chain in accounts associated with the wallet's public key.
Popular Solana wallets include Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, and Glow. Most Solana DeFi applications support wallet connection via the Solana wallet adapter standard, which allows users to connect their preferred wallet to any compatible dApp.
Solana wallets generate a public key (wallet address) and a private key. The public key is used to receive tokens and identify the wallet on-chain. The private key signs transactions and must never be shared.
