1.7.8
The Wallet app is gone and its three pages, Portfolio, Send and Trade, are a Wallet group inside Solana Hub, which takes a second header, a second refresh button and a second running total of the same account off the screen. All 25 apps that ship have a page at /apps now, each saying what the app does, what data it reads and whether it can ask your wallet to sign; the site had been advertising 27, two of which no longer installed. Full screen works again on every browser: the request was being refused at the page level, so the switch was dead in the menu bar and in both Control Centers. The View menu is grouped under four headings and picks up five settings that were previously reachable only from Settings.

Highlights
- 01
The wallet lives in Solana Hub
Portfolio, Send and Trade sit in the hub's rail beside the market and the explorer, because all three act on a Solana account and the hub already reads one. Folding them in drops one header, one refresh control and one duplicate account total, and moving between the three no longer refetches the same balances three times. Nothing about your account moved and nothing needed migrating.
- 02
Every app has a page
The 25 apps that ship are listed at /apps with a page each: what the app does, what data it reads, whether it can build a transaction for your wallet, and a link that opens it in the system. The site and the desktop read from one list now, so the site cannot count 27 apps where 25 install, or keep pages for the Wallet app and the QR Code app after both were retired.
- 03
Full screen, and a View menu worth opening
Full screen was refused before the browser ever saw the request, so the switch did nothing in the menu bar or in either Control Center, on every browser. It works now, and where a browser or an embedding page genuinely forbids it the control is greyed with the reason on hover instead of absorbing the click. View is grouped into Appearance, Screen, Menu Bar and Windows, and gains Control Center, menu bar transparency, the menu bar logo, the App Switcher and the side the window buttons sit on.
Everything in this release
New3
- Apps have pages on the web: an index of all 25 at /apps, a page each, and a link in the site navigation. Each page states what the app does, what it reads, and the most it can ask your wallet for.
- Solana Hub gains a Wallet group. Portfolio, Send and Trade read and spend from the account the system is signed in with, alongside the market and the explorer rather than in a window of their own.
- The hub's header carries what the account is worth and the address it signs with while you are on one of the three Wallet pages, and offers to connect when you are not signed in.
Improved10
- Solana Hub: the network's own vitals, epoch, validators, throughput and supply, open on Explorer above the address lookup. They were a page away from the thing they give context to, and Explorer was carrying a thinner second copy of the same four figures.
- Solana Hub: the section that reports on any address you type is named Wallet Analyzer, so it is not mistaken for the account you hold. It reads; it cannot spend and never asks to.
- Solana Hub: one refresh control instead of two, reloading whatever the page is made of, chain statistics on Market and Explorer or your balances, prices and history on the Wallet pages.
- The View menu is grouped under four headings and now holds Control Center, the App Switcher, menu bar transparency, the menu bar logo, and which side the window buttons sit on. All five were previously only in Settings.
- The menu bar names what is actually in front. With no window focused it says Desktop instead of repeating the product name that already sits one slot to its left.
- Terminal: wallet open opens Solana Hub, and wallet state messages point there when account attention is needed.
- Solana Hub's Hub menu links out to the Jupiter aggregator and the SPL Token documentation alongside Solana status and Solscan.
- The system describes itself the same way in all three places it describes itself: an operating system for on-chain finance, one shell and one wallet identity across Solana, Ethereum and Base. Settings, About and the front page had been saying it in three different voices.
- Settings shows the real Hexncoin mark in General, tinted to the theme, in place of the generic glyph that read as a placeholder.
- The security page points at the machine-readable copy of the wallet permission tiers, published as structured data on the front page, so the claim can be checked with a parser instead of taken on the prose.
Fixed2
- Full screen works. The switch in the menu bar and in both Control Centers was denied at the page level, so it did nothing on every browser. Where fullscreen is genuinely unavailable the control is now greyed with a reason on hover rather than silently failing.
- The site described apps the system no longer has: it counted 27 where 25 install, still listed a Wallet app and a QR Code app that are gone, and used the App Center's old name. The site and the desktop now read from one list.
Removed2
- The Wallet app, as a window. Everything it did is the Wallet group in Solana Hub, and the id is cleared from saved workspaces, so a desktop that had it installed loses a duplicate rather than a capability.
- Solana Hub's Network section, as a destination. Its four charts are on Explorer now, above the lookup they give context to.
