Solflare is a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet designed for interacting with the Solana blockchain. It allows users to store, send, receive, stake, and trade SOL and other Solana-based tokens (SPL tokens), as well as manage non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The wallet is available as a mobile application for iOS and Android and as a web browser extension, catering to both retail and institutional users. [1] [2]
Solflare positions itself as a comprehensive and secure gateway to the Solana ecosystem. It provides users full control over their private keys and funds, a core principle of non-custodial wallets. The platform aims to balance a user-friendly interface for beginners with advanced features for experienced users, offering tools for interacting with decentralized applications (dApps), decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and NFT marketplaces.

The project's taglines, "Unchain Your Money with The #1 Solana Wallet" and "The Solana Wallet. For everyone," reflect its goal of broad accessibility. Security is a primary focus, with the platform claiming to be the most audited wallet on the Solana network and offering 24/7 customer support. [1] [2]
While the official Solflare website notes its establishment in 2021, the project's official X (formerly Twitter) account was created in May 2020, indicating an earlier inception period. The wallet is operated by Solrise Finance Ltd. [1] [2]
Throughout its development, Solflare has introduced a range of features aimed at improving user experience and functionality within the Solana ecosystem. In early 2026, the project announced two significant updates. On February 11, 2026, Solflare unveiled the Solflare Card, a self-custody debit card. Later that month, on February 25, 2026, it announced a feature allowing users to pay for network transaction fees using stablecoins instead of SOL, addressing a common pain point for users. [2]
Solflare offers a suite of products designed to manage digital assets on the Solana network. The platform's offerings include its core software wallet, a physical debit card, a hardware wallet, and an integrated AI assistant. [1]
The primary product is a non-custodial software wallet available on multiple platforms. [1]
Announced in February 2026, the Solflare Card is a self-custody debit card powered by Mastercard. It connects directly to a user's Solflare wallet, enabling them to spend USDC and other SPL tokens, including memecoins and Real World Assets (RWAs). The card is designed for use at over 100 million merchants worldwide where Mastercard is accepted. [1] [2]
For users seeking enhanced security, Solflare offers the Shield, a physical tap-to-sign hardware wallet. This device stores private keys offline, protecting them from online threats. The Shield starts at a price of $49 and is available in signature designs or with custom branding options. [1]
Solflare has integrated an AI-powered assistant named Magic. This feature is designed to help users navigate the wallet's functionality and the broader Solana ecosystem by providing guidance and answering questions directly within the application. [1]
Solflare is built on a non-custodial architecture, meaning users maintain exclusive control over their private keys and, by extension, their funds. The platform emphasizes security through regular audits and integration with hardware security solutions. [2]
The wallet offers full compatibility with Ledger hardware wallets. This integration allows users to manage their assets, including NFTs, with the added security of offline key storage, requiring physical confirmation for transactions. [2]
A feature announced in February 2026 allows users to pay for Solana's network transaction fees using stablecoins. This innovation eliminates the need for users to hold SOL specifically for gas, a common hurdle in many blockchain ecosystems. [2]
Solflare is compatible with executable NFTs (xNFTs), a standard that allows NFTs to function as applications directly within the wallet. This technology enables more dynamic and interactive experiences compared to traditional static NFTs. [2]
The mobile version of the Solflare wallet integrates with Solana Pay. This feature facilitates seamless crypto payments through QR codes, simplifying peer-to-peer and merchant transactions. [2]
Solflare has established integrations and partnerships to expand its utility and serve a wider audience, including both retail and institutional clients.
As of February 2026, Solflare reports a user base of over 3,000,000. Its official X account has a following of over 267,600 users, and the wallet has received more than 51,000 ratings on app stores. [1] [2]
The wallet has received endorsements from key figures in the Solana community. Anatoly Yakovenko, a co-founder of Solana, praised the project in an April 2023 post, stating, "@solflare_wallet is awesome. Team is consistently first to ship any new feature for @solana." [1]
Crypto influencer Solana Sensei also commented favorably on the wallet in April 2024, noting, "I have tried every wallet in Solana and I have over 600 different SOL wallets. I think I’m a maxi... It is currently my fastest wallet... Token swaps are the smoothest." [1]
Solflare is operated by Solrise Finance Ltd., a company registered at the 2nd Floor, Ellen L. Skelton Building, Fishers Lane, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, VG 1110. The platform provides 24/7 live-chat support with human agents for its users. [1]
