One wallet for everything is one mistake from zero.
A short, practical checklist for keeping your Solana funds and your identity apart from the risky stuff. Tick items as you go. Progress stays in this browser only; nothing is sent anywhere.
No real wallet, app, support agent or airdrop needs it. Anyone who asks for it is trying to take your funds. This page has no inputs for keys at all.
Four wallets, four jobs.
Splitting roles limits the damage of any one bad signature. The vault never touches new apps; the burner never holds more than you would lose without a second thought.
Long-term holdings
- Hardware wallet
- Signs rarely, only known apps
- Address not posted publicly
Day-to-day swaps
- Hot wallet with a working balance
- Trusted DEXs and aggregators only
- Sweep profits back to the vault
Mints and new apps
- Fund only what you need for one mint or test
- Expect it to be drained one day
- Never import its key elsewhere
Receiving and showing
- Address you share for tips or proof
- Holds little; forward to the vault
- Fine to attach a .sol name to

Common questions.
Will separate wallets make me anonymous?
No. Solana is public. Anyone can see which wallet funded which, and exchanges know the addresses you withdraw to. Separate wallets limit how much one mistake can cost and how much one public address reveals about the rest; they do not hide fund origins, and this guide does not try to.
Where is my progress stored?
In your browser's localStorage on this device. Nothing is sent to our server. Clearing site data or using a private window resets it.
I think I signed something bad. What now?
Stop signing. From a clean device, move what is left to a brand-new wallet you control, revoke token delegates on the old one, and treat the old seed phrase as burned. Report the site to your wallet provider. Never give your seed phrase to anyone offering to "recover" funds.
