Hey Wallet, a Solana-based social wallet launched in 2021 after a Solana hackathon, announced that it is shutting down and directed users to heywallet.com to back up their wallets and export private keys before the service goes offline. The announcement did not provide a shutdown date, specify affected products beyond the service’s closure, or explain the reason. Hey Wallet connected blockchain functions with social platforms, allowing users to send SOL through X handles, tip creators on Discord, swap tokens through Telegram and mint NFTs. Users were told to import exported private keys or seed phrases into Phantom, Solflare or another compatible Solana wallet; the assets remain on the blockchain rather than on Hey Wallet’s servers. The closure follows shutdowns by other wallet services this year, including HaHa Wallet and Magic Eden’s ME Wallet.
