Glossary / Solana Core
A Solana wallet's public + private key pair — the private key signs transactions, the public key is the wallet address.
A Solana keypair is an ed25519 public/private key pair. The public key (base58, ~44 chars) is your wallet address. The private key must be kept secret — it signs every transaction and cannot be recovered if lost.
Wallets like Phantom or Solflare derive keypairs from a 12- or 24-word seed phrase. MakeMeACoin never stores or asks for private keys — every action is signed inside your wallet. If a tool ever asks for your seed phrase or private key, treat it as a scam.
The fastest way to internalize a term is to see it live on a Solana token you know. Paste any mint below to run a public Launch Score.
