Following a Solana wallet helps you keep track of publicly visible on-chain activity. Nova offers wallet following and on-chain profiles so you can return to the addresses you care about without repeatedly searching for them.

Start with the correct address

Copy the wallet address from a source you trust, open its public profile or activity view in Nova, and use the follow action where available. Check the complete address before you associate it with a person or project. A similar display name, token logo, or social post is not proof of ownership.

You can view public activity without asking for someone’s recovery phrase or private key. If a site asks you to sign an unexplained transaction simply to view a wallet, stop and verify what it is requesting.

What can a wallet history tell you?

Public records may show transfers, token interactions, swaps, and activity involving on-chain programs. An interface can help interpret those records, but a transaction label is still an interpretation. Check the transaction details when the distinction matters.

A large incoming transfer is not necessarily a purchase. An outgoing transfer is not necessarily a sale. Assets may move between wallets controlled by the same person, through bridges, into pools, or through services. On-chain history by itself may not reveal an owner’s full portfolio, original cost, off-chain arrangements, or realized profit.

Follow to learn, then make your own decision

Use a watchlist to study activity and ask better questions. Do not assume a wallet will repeat a past result or that you can obtain the same execution price. Following a wallet is not a guarantee of investment performance.

Next: review swap quotes and costs or understand self-custody.
