About Hey Wallet
Hey Wallet is a social-first Solana wallet and trading assistant designed to make sending, receiving, and swapping SPL tokens feel as simple as chatting on your favorite platforms. It connects everyday social activity with on-chain actions: you can send crypto to an X (Twitter) handle, tip or reward users on Discord, and swap Solana tokens directly inside a Telegram bot interface. This approach lowers the barrier for beginners and saves time for active Solana traders who want fast, in-chat execution without juggling multiple dApps.
Hey Wallet focuses on the Solana network to leverage low fees and high throughput, which helps small tips, rewards, and frequent swaps remain practical. The team states that the product is currently focused on Solana specifically because of its speed and cost profile.
Two entry points define the product today:
Telegram trading bot for rapid swaps of Solana tokens.
“Social wallet” for X and Discord, allowing you to send tokens to @handles and reward community members directly from social interactions.
For recipients on X, signing up is required to claim funds sent via Hey Wallet, which keeps the experience familiar for newcomers to crypto who are starting from a social profile rather than a traditional wallet address.
What makes Hey Wallet special?
For Solana users, the differentiator is simple: Hey Wallet brings social identities and real-time chat directly into the transaction flow. Instead of pasting long addresses or switching apps, you can:
Send to @handles on X, or run giveaways/rewards in Discord with minimal friction.
Execute swaps via Telegram with a lightweight, text-command interface designed for speed and mobility.
Another notable point is custody flexibility. The team states they plan to support both custodial and non-custodial modes, letting users choose based on convenience or self-sovereignty preferences. This is important context for beginners deciding how to store keys and for advanced users who already manage their own wallets. (More on custody tradeoffs in the How much does it cost? section below.)
Finally, parts of the product still show “Beta” notices. That transparency helps users calibrate expectations and use caution with deposits, which is especially relevant for brand-new crypto users.

How to get started
A short, beginner-friendly walkthrough you can follow in a few minutes.
1
Open Hey Wallet
2 minutes
Easy
Go to Hey Wallet and choose one of the main entry points: Launch Telegram Bot for in-chat swapping, or Access Social Wallet to use the X/Discord features.
2
Create your account / connect
2 minutes
Easy
Follow the onboarding flow shown for the option you picked (Telegram or Social Wallet). If you’re using the X flow, you’ll be guided to sign up so you can send or claim tokens attached to @handles.
3
Fund with SOL
2 minutes
Easy
Deposit a small amount of SOL to cover transfers or swaps and any fees. Solana’s base fees are very low, but you still need a balance for activity.
4
Configure preferences
2 minutes
Easy
Inside Telegram or the social wallet, review settings that affect how you trade or send, such as slippage for swaps and any safety confirmations. (Exact options can evolve; always check in-app.)
5
Try a test action
2 minutes
Easy
Send a tiny tip to a trusted @handle on X, or perform a small swap in Telegram to validate the flow end-to-end. Scale up only after you’re confident with the process.
Pro Tips
Tip 1
Start small. When testing social sending or Telegram swaps for the first time, try a tiny amount to confirm flow and fees. (This is a good habit for any new wallet or dApp.)
Tip 2
Confirm recipients. For X transfers, double-check the exact @handle and whether the recipient can sign up to claim.
Tip 3
Mind total cost. Combine Hey Wallet’s fee with Solana’s network fee to estimate your all-in cost per action.
Tip 4
Choose custody deliberately. If/when both modes are available, decide between convenience (custodial) and control (non-custodial) based on your experience and threat model.
Tip 5
Watch beta labels. If a page indicates beta status, avoid large balances and re-check any limits or warnings before use.
