Raydium does not endorse any specific wallet provider. Any reputable, non-custodial Solana wallet that supports versioned (V0) transactions can connect to Raydium and sign swaps, LP actions, and farm operations. This page focuses on what to look for, not which one to pick — that decision is yours.
What a Raydium-compatible wallet must do
A wallet is a Raydium-compatible wallet if it can do all of the following:- Hold a Solana keypair locally and never transmit the private key off-device.
- Sign versioned (V0) transactions. Raydium swaps use Address Lookup Tables and require V0 support. Wallets that only sign legacy transactions cannot complete a Raydium swap.
- Connect to dApps via the Wallet Adapter standard. This is what makes the “Connect Wallet” button on raydium.io work.
- Show a clear transaction preview before you approve, including the program(s) being called and the token movements.
- Support associated token accounts (creating an ATA the first time you receive a new mint).
Features that matter beyond the baseline
Once a wallet clears the baseline, the differences come down to your workflow and risk profile. Decide which of the following matter to you, and pick a wallet that handles them:| Feature | When it matters |
|---|---|
| Hardware-wallet pairing | You are holding more than a casual amount. The software wallet becomes a transaction builder; the hardware device holds the key and signs. Most reputable Solana wallets pair with at least Ledger; some pair with Keystone, SafePal, or other devices. |
| Mobile dApp browser | You expect to use Raydium primarily from a phone. The wallet’s in-app browser is what loads raydium.io and signs transactions on mobile. |
| Multiple-account management | You separate funds across hot / cold / experimental wallets and want to switch quickly without juggling extensions. |
| Token-2022 extension awareness | You will interact with pools that use Token-2022 mints (e.g. transfer-fee tokens). A wallet that surfaces these extensions in the signing UI helps you spot unexpected fees before you sign. |
| Priority-fee display | You trade during congestion and want to see what the wallet has set for compute-budget price before approving. |
| Solana Actions / Blinks support | You want to use the one-click swap links Raydium publishes on social media. See user-flows/referrals-and-blinks. |
| Open-source codebase | You want to be able to audit the wallet client (or rely on the community having done so). |
| Multi-chain accounts | You hold assets on chains other than Solana and prefer one wallet for all of them. Verify the multi-chain support is mature for the chains you actually use; it varies. |
Popular Solana wallets
The following are well-known wallet projects with active Solana support. They are listed alphabetically; inclusion is informational, not an endorsement, and the list is not exhaustive. Verify the official URL before installing — phishing clones routinely buy sponsored ads against the real domain names.Software wallets

Hardware wallets
A hardware wallet pairs with one of the software wallets above (the software side becomes the transaction builder; the hardware device holds the key and signs).| Device | Type | Official site |
|---|---|---|
| Ledger | USB / Bluetooth | ledger.com |
| Keystone | Air-gapped (QR-code signing) | keyst.one |
Hot / cold wallet pattern
A common practice that works regardless of which wallet you pick:- A hot wallet holds a small amount you accept might be lost — for daily swapping and trying things.
- A cold wallet (paired with a hardware device) holds anything you would be unhappy to lose. Move funds in only when you actively need them in the hot wallet.
Where to find wallet options
The Raydium UI’s “Connect Wallet” modal lists every wallet that has integrated with Raydium via the Wallet Adapter. Browse it to see what is currently supported. Solana’s official wallet directory (solana.com/ecosystem/explore?categories=wallet) is another neutral starting point.
When you evaluate a wallet, run through this checklist:
- Maintained: recent releases, an active issue tracker, a security-disclosure channel.
- Reviewed: a published audit by a reputable firm, or open-source code with an active community.
- V0-transaction support confirmed (test on devnet before transferring real funds).
- If you plan to use a hardware device: the wallet documents which devices it supports and how the pairing works.
- You found the official download via the project’s verified domain — not via a sponsored ad or a forwarded link.
Wallet security basics
Regardless of which wallet you pick:- Write down the seed phrase on paper. Store the paper in two physically separate locations. Never type the seed phrase anywhere except during a wallet recovery on a fresh install.
- Use a password manager for the wallet’s unlock password — and keep that password completely separate from the seed.
- Use a dedicated browser profile for crypto activity, with the minimum number of extensions installed. Phishing extensions are the single largest drain vector.
- Treat every wallet-connect prompt with suspicion. Read what you are signing. If a transaction transfers all of a token instead of a specific amount, reject it.

raydium.io. Always navigate from the bookmark, never from a search-engine ad.
