Wallet Address
The public key of a Solana wallet, used to receive tokens and identify on-chain activity.
Definition
A wallet address on Solana is the public key associated with a wallet, expressed as a Base58-encoded string of approximately 44 characters. It is the identifier used to send tokens to a wallet, look up on-chain activity, and verify ownership of token positions.
Wallet addresses are public — they can be shared freely and are visible to anyone on the blockchain. Sharing a wallet address does not give anyone access to funds; only the private key (or seed phrase) enables transactions.
On Solana, each wallet address can hold multiple token accounts — one for each SPL or Token-2022 token held. These token accounts are associated with the wallet's public key and store the actual token balances.
StakePoint & Wallet Address
StakePoint displays the creator wallet address for each token lock, allowing investors to verify who created the lock. All lock and staking positions on StakePoint are associated with the wallet address that created them.
