Glow

Introduction

Glow is an aesthetically pleasing and functional non-custodial wallet built for the Solana blockchain. Launched in 2022, it offers users a simple way for storing SOL, managing tokens, viewing Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and staking, all from a mobile device or web browser.

In addition, it also has support for decentralized app (dApp) connections, spam token removal, built-in swaps, and gives new users the clarity they need.

Key Features

Zero-Fee Swaps

Glow allows users to swap SOL and PSL tokens within the app without charging any additional fees, making token exchange both convenient and cost-effective.

Spam-Token Burner

The Glow wallet comes with a burn feature, allowing users to remove a token from circulation by sending it to a burn address and receiving SOL deposits in return.

In-App Staking

Glow comes with support for native SOL staking that users can partake in without leaving the app, allowing them to delegate their holdings to the network’s operation while earning rewards.

Rich NFT Tools

The mobile and extension versions let users browse, filter, and view NFT collections, with live pricing and listing tools to ensure that users have the insight they need to make informed decisions.

Security

Glow comes equipped with a variety of security features such as password protection, recovery phrase backup, local key storage, fingerprint scanning, and facial recognition for mobile devices and more.

Cross-Platform Extension Integration

The browser extension injects wallet connectivity into Solana dApp sites, essentially allowing users to sign, swap, buy NFTs, and explore other platforms like Jupiter, Raydium, and more.

How It Works?

Glow operates by providing users with a non-custodial wallet interface that connects directly to the Solana blockchain. When users create or import a wallet, Glow stores their private keys locally to ensure security. Its ability to connect with dApps allows users to sign transactions, swap tokens, stake SOL, and manage NFTs. In addition, all interactions happen on-chain, which preserves both control and privacy.

Why It Matters To Solana Users?

Glow matters for Solana users because it delivers a smooth, secure, and all-in-one experience tailored to the ecosystem's needs. For stakers, Glow makes it easy to delegate SOL and earn rewards with just a few taps, all while keeping full control of their assets.

Traders benefit from its built-in zero-fee token swaps, fast transactions, and real-time portfolio tracking. Perfect for maximizing efficiency on Solana's high-speed network. For NFT collectors and explorers, Glow offers native NFT support with seamless integration into marketplaces like Magic Eden, making it effortless to mint, manage, or trade digital assets.

Its intuitive interface, strong security features, and cross-platform access make it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced users navigating the growing Solana system.
