Sending & receiving SOL/tokens

1. Receiving Assets

To receive SOL or tokens:

  1. Open your Viper Wallet

  2. Navigate to the "Receive" section

  3. Select desired token (SOL or SPL token)

  4. Share your public address with sender:

    • Copy to clipboard

    • Display QR code

    • Share via secure messaging

Important Notes: ✔ All SPL tokens use the same wallet address ✔ Always verify address before sharing ✔ Receiving requires no network fee


2. Sending Assets

To send SOL or tokens:

  1. Select "Send" in your wallet

  2. Choose asset type (SOL or specific SPL token)

  3. Enter:

    • Recipient's full address

    • Exact amount to send

  4. Confirm:

    • Network fee (displayed)

    • Total debit amount

  5. Authorize with PIN

Security Checks: ⚠ Always verify first 4 & last 4 characters of addresses ⚠ Double-check token contract addresses for SPL tokens ⚠ Small test transactions recommended for new addresses


3. Transaction Details

All transactions show:

  • Timestamp

  • Transaction ID (viewable on Solana Explorer)

  • Status (Pending/Confirmed/Failed)

  • Network fee paid


4. Common Issues

🔸 Failed Transactions

  • Usually due to insufficient SOL for fees

  • Check recipient address validity

🔸 Missing SPL Tokens

  • May require manual token addition

  • Verify token is sent to correct address

🔸 Delayed Transactions

  • Rare on Solana (typically <1 min)

  • Check network status if delayed


Best Practices • Bookmark frequent contacts • Save transaction memos for reference • Keep 0.0005+ SOL for transaction fees
