Wallets

Before you get started using Moondraft, you'll need a compatible wallet for storing your funds on the blockchain and for interacting with the Moondraft platform.

Important: Don't forget to fund your wallet with the native currency (SOL for Solana, ETH for Ethereum), as it is required to execute transactions on the respective networks. It is recommended to keep a minimum of 0.05 SOL or 0.01 ETH in your wallet to avoid failed transactions.

Wallet Security Best Practices

🔒 Essential Security Measures

✓
Secure Your Seed Phrase

Never share your seed phrase with anyone. Store it offline in multiple secure locations. Consider using metal backup plates for fire/water resistance.

✓
Verify Addresses

Always double-check wallet addresses before sending transactions. One wrong character can result in permanent loss of funds.

✓
Use Hardware Wallets for Large Amounts

Store significant amounts in hardware wallets. Keep only small amounts in hot wallets for daily trading.

✓
Keep Software Updated

Regularly update your wallet software and browser extensions to ensure you have the latest security patches.

✓
Test Recovery Process

Practice recovering your wallet with small amounts to ensure you understand the process before you need it.

Avoiding Common Scams

Red Flags - Never Do These:

  • Share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone
  • Enter your seed phrase on websites or "verification" forms
  • Click suspicious links in emails or messages
  • Download wallet software from unofficial sources
  • Connect to unfamiliar or suspicious websites

Phishing Protection

  • Bookmark official sites and use them exclusively
  • Verify URLs before entering sensitive information
  • Enable 2FA where available
  • Be suspicious of unsolicited messages or emails
  • Use official app stores only for mobile wallet apps

Wallet Connection Troubleshooting

Common Connection Issues

Wallet not appearing in connection options:

  • Ensure wallet extension is installed and enabled
  • Refresh the Moondraft page
  • Check if wallet is unlocked
  • Try using incognito/private browsing mode

Transaction failures:

  • Check wallet balance for sufficient network fees
  • Increase gas price during network congestion
  • Clear browser cache and cookies
  • Switch to a different RPC endpoint if available

Slow transaction confirmations:

  • Network congestion can cause delays
  • Higher gas prices can speed up transactions
  • Check blockchain explorer for transaction status
  • Be patient during high network activity periods

Multi-Wallet Management

Many users manage multiple wallets for different purposes:

  • Hot Wallet: Small amounts for daily trading and interactions
  • Cold Storage: Large amounts in hardware wallets
  • Separate Wallets: Different wallets for different projects or activities
  • Testing Wallet: Small amounts for trying new protocols

Pro Tip: Consider using a dedicated wallet for DeFi activities, separate from your main holdings. This limits exposure if you interact with experimental or risky protocols.
