Getting Started with SOL Wallet Shadow

What You Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• •A Solana wallet — Any wallet that gives you access to your private key. We recommend creating a dedicated trading wallet with limited funds.
• •SOL for gas fees — A small amount of SOL (0.05 SOL is plenty) to cover transaction fees.
• •Trading capital — The SOL or tokens you want to use for copy trading.
• •A browser — SOL Wallet Shadow runs entirely in your browser. Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge are all supported.

Step 1: Open the App

Visit walletshadow.com and you'll see the main dashboard. No signup, no account creation — just open it and go.

Step 2: Import Your Wallet

Click "Import Wallet" and enter your private key. Your key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a password you choose and stored only in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device.

Important: Use a dedicated trading wallet. Never use your main wallet that holds significant funds. Copy trading involves risk, and you should only trade with funds you can afford to lose.

Step 3: Configure Your RPC

SOL Wallet Shadow uses your RPC endpoint for all Solana interactions. The default public RPC works, but for better performance and reliability, we recommend using a private RPC from providers like Helius, QuickNode, or Triton.

Step 4: Discover Whales

Click "Discover Whales" to start the whale discovery engine. It scans trending Solana tokens via the Solscan Pro API and analyzes the wallets trading them. You'll see results ranked by win rate, profit, and trade count.

Step 5: Start Copy Trading

Found a whale you like? Add them to your shadow list and enable monitoring. When they make a trade, your wallet automatically mirrors it. Every position gets stop loss, trailing stop, and take profit protection.
