Your keys, your wallet
Software-wallet keys are created and kept on your device. Smart Wallet does not take custody of your recovery phrase or private keys. When you approve an action, the wallet signs it locally and shares the resulting signature.
Security
Security built around your control
From encrypted storage to transaction review, each layer has a specific job: protect your keys and help you decide what your wallet signs.
Our approach
How Smart Wallet protects your wallet
A closer look at the controls behind everyday use.
An encrypted vault
Your saved wallet secrets are encrypted on your device. The vault protects the stored copy of your keys, while your password and lock settings control how you access the wallet.
Protected signing
Smart Wallet uses its vault session to sign with software keys. Routine signing returns a signature without displaying or handing the private key to the website requesting it.
Lock and session controls
You can lock the wallet when you are finished, and auto-lock can close an inactive session. These controls help limit access to an open wallet.
Website permissions and approval
Websites request permission to connect. Signing and transaction requests are presented for your review, so you can check the site, network, and requested action before approving.
Recovery belongs to you
Your recovery phrase is the backup to your software wallet. Smart Wallet lets you reveal it when needed, but cannot recover it for you if it is lost. Keep it offline and private; never enter it into a website or share it with anyone claiming to offer support.
Hardware wallet option
Using a Ledger?
For supported Solana and EVM accounts, Ledger keeps private keys on the hardware device and performs signing there. Review the details on your Ledger before confirming.
“Security starts with informed approval.”
Check the website and transaction details every time you connect or sign. For install safety tips and help without sharing secrets, see Support.
