How do I check a Solana wallet for risky or scam tokens?

Look up the wallet address to list its SPL token holdings, then check each unfamiliar token's mint for risk signals. Unsolicited airdrops are a common scam vector, so do not click their links or try to sell them from a wallet that holds real funds. Only enter a public address, never a seed phrase.

How to check it, step by step

1. Use only the public address. You need the wallet's public address. Never type a seed phrase or private key into any checker.
2. List the holdings. Paste the address into /tools/solana-wallet-checker to see the SPL tokens it holds. If nothing shows, there may be no SPL tokens, or the data source may be temporarily unavailable.
3. Check each unfamiliar mint. Copy the mint of any token you do not recognize and run it through /token-check to review the risk score, authorities and holders.
4. Treat airdrops with caution. Tokens you did not buy often promote a website. Do not visit it or connect your wallet. Ignoring them is usually safer than interacting.
5. Verify on a block explorer. Open the wallet on Solscan or Solana Explorer to see its token accounts and transaction history, and cross-check anything that looks odd.

FAQ

Does the wallet checker need my private key?

No, and it never should. It only needs a public wallet address. If any site asks for a seed phrase or private key, leave the site.

Can I burn or hide a scam token?

Many wallets let you hide tokens, and you can close an empty token account to reclaim rent. Avoid swapping or interacting with a suspicious token, since that can trigger a malicious contract.

Does a risky token in my wallet mean I was hacked?

Not usually. Anyone can send tokens to any address, so an unknown token is typically just spam. It is not by itself a sign that your wallet was compromised.

Informational only. Automated analysis of public on-chain data from third-party sources; it can be incomplete, delayed or wrong. Not financial, investment or legal advice, and a low risk score does not mean a token is safe.
