Backpack and Trezor

What is Backpack?

Backpack Wallet is an all-in-one open source web3 app that functions as a noncustodial wallet, allowing users to buy, hold, sell, and transfer cryptocurrencies. For Solana users, the Backpack app provides the ability to store, send, receive, and stake SOL (the primary currency of Solana) and other Solana-based tokens. Backpack can also connect with various decentralized applications (dApps) through its web3 browser, ensuring a convenient experience when interacting with Solana and other supported networks. For additional information on Backpack Wallet, visit their support pages.
