SPL Wallet for All Devices
CEX.IO gives you a free SPL wallet that runs on iOS, Android, desktop, and the web. You store Solana-based tokens alongside hundreds of other digital assets, track your full portfolio, and move funds from one interface. In our guide, we will cover what the safest SPL wallet needs and how to set one up on CEX.IO.
Types of wallets for keeping digital assets
Every crypto wallet stores the private keys that give you control over your tokens on the blockchain. Solana holds the actual tokens. The wallet proves your ownership and authorises every outgoing transfer.
Wallet formats range from desktop apps and mobile wallets to web wallets at exchanges and offline hardware devices. Each option suits a different level of access frequency and security preference. CEX.IO operates as a custodial wallet. The platform holds your private keys and you log in with your account credentials. Non-custodial wallets give you full key control. Anyone who loses the seed phrase without a backup loses permanent access to their funds.
What is an SPL Wallet?
SPL stands for Solana Program Library. It is the official token standard for creating and managing fungible tokens on the Solana blockchain. Any token built to the SPL standard works automatically with every SPL-compatible wallet, exchange, and application. The same Solana wallet address holds SOL and every SPL token simultaneously — no separate address required.
If you have used USDC on Solana, received a Solana airdrop, or traded on a Solana DEX, you have already handled SPL tokens. You can view prices, convert, buy, and sell supported SPL tokens directly on CEX.IO.
