How to Store Solana (SOL)

The best way to store Solana (SOL) varies based on your needs and preferences. Review the pros and cons to find the best method of storing Solana (SOL).

Store Solana in Your KuCoin Account

Holding your crypto in your KuCoin account provides quick access to trading products, such as spot and futures trading, staking, lending, and more. KuCoin serves as the custodian of your crypto assets to help you avoid the hassle of securing your private keys on your own. Make sure to set up a strong password and upgrade your security settings to prevent malicious actors from accessing your funds.

Hold Your Solana in Non-Custodial Wallets

"Not your keys, not your coins" is a widely recognized rule in the crypto community. If security is your top concern, you can withdraw your Solana (SOL) to a non-custodial wallet. Storing Solana (SOL) in a non-custodial or self-custodial wallet grants you complete control over your private keys. You can use any type of wallet, including hardware wallets, Web3 wallets, or paper wallets. Note that this option may be less convenient if you wish to trade your Solana (SOL) frequently or put your assets to work. Be sure to store your private keys in a secure location as losing them may result in the permanent loss of your Solana (SOL).

  • How to Add Solana to MetaMask

    MetaMask does not directly support Solana (SOL) and its SPL tokens due to underlying different blockchain technology. However, you can add Wrapped Solana (wSOL) native to the BNB Chain and use it on MetaMask in the following manner:

     

    1. Visit the CoinMarketCap website and find the page for Wrapped Solana's token on the Binance Smart Chain (BEP20).

     

    2. Copy the contract address of Wrapped Solana on the Binance Smart Chain.

     

    3. Open your MetaMask extension or app and unlock it with your passcode or biometrics.

     

    4. Set the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as your default network in MetaMask.

     

    5. Scroll down in MetaMask and click on "Import tokens."

     

    6. Paste the contract address of the Wrapped Solana you copied earlier, and MetaMask will automatically fill in the token details.

     

    7. Click "Add Custom Token" to add Solana to your MetaMask wallet on the Binance Smart Chain.

     

    This method uses a wrapped version of Solana (wSOL) on the Binance Smart Chain and can also be used on the Ethereum blockchain. Sending native SOL tokens to MetaMask can lead to a permanent loss of funds since they are not compatible.

  • How to Add Tokens to Solana Account on Ledger

    1. Install the Solana App on Your Ledger Device

    Open Ledger Live and navigate to the "My Ledger" tab. Connect and unlock your Ledger device.
