Solana Wallet Safety Best Practices
Plan it in the JetMintAi terminal, review the exact transaction, and approve it from your own wallet — non-custodial from start to finish.
Core safety habits
- Never share your seed phrase — no legitimate tool asks for it.
- Use a dedicated wallet for trading, separate from long-term holdings.
- Review every transaction before signing; reject anything unexpected.
- Use a hardware wallet for significant balances.
- Revoke stale token approvals periodically.
Why non-custodial tools help
With non-custodial platforms like JetMintAi you keep your keys and approve each action, so a compromised service can't move your funds without your signature.
