Is Solflare safe to connect?
Self-custody wallet · Solana. Checked 2026-10-25; every line links its source.
Worst case: Solflare is self-custody: a leaked recovery phrase or a signed malicious approval can drain the wallet, and Solflare can't reverse or recover anything.
Safe setup in 3 steps
- Install only from solflare.com/download: Chrome Web Store ID bhhhlbepdkbapadjdnnojkbgioiodbic, Firefox 'solflare-wallet', App Store id1580902717, Google Play com.solflare.mobile.
- Review and revoke dapp permissions under Settings → Security and Privacy → Spending Approvals, and never type your recovery phrase into a site or 'support' chat.
- Use a separate Solflare wallet with a small balance for bots and memecoin trading, and keep savings on a Ledger connected to Solflare.
