Analyze a Solana Wallet
A wallet balance is only the current state. To understand how an address got there, read holdings and recent activity together, then verify anything important on-chain.
Key idea
Use the public address only. Read balances and activity together, and treat labels as context rather than proof.

Wallet Analysis →Start with the public address
Wallet research never requires a seed phrase or private key. A public address is enough to inspect balances, token accounts and transaction history.
Connect holdings to activity
A token balance cannot tell you whether an asset was bought, received, bridged or moved from another wallet. Review transfers and program interactions around the same period.
Verify the part that matters
Portfolio labels and third-party metadata are useful shortcuts, but the transaction record is the evidence. Verify the signature, token mint and counterparties before acting on a conclusion.
