Canary is an all-in-one Solana wallet and encrypted messenger. It combines a non-custodial wallet for managing SOL and SPL tokens, private transfers with on-chain proof verification, token swaps via Jupiter Ultra, encrypted messaging with .sol domain identity, community voting and comments on tokens, a built-in dApp browser, curated Solana Alpha news, and the Chronicles CRED rewards system.

Messages are encrypted using the Canary Protocol — an implementation of X3DH key exchange with Double Ratchet for forward secrecy. Pre-key bundles are published on-chain so anyone can initiate an encrypted session. Not even Canary can read your messages. Your .sol domain serves as your decentralized identity — no phone number or personal information required.

Canary's private transfer system lets you send SOL or any SPL token with on-chain verified privacy. Transfers use cryptographic commitments verified by a Solana program — ownership is proven via Ed25519 signature verification through Solana's native precompile, and nullifiers prevent double-spending. An optional gasless relay hides your address as the fee payer for full sender privacy.

No! Canary is completely free to use. The wallet, messaging, private transfers, voting, comments, news, browser, and Chronicles are all free. Fair swap fees apply when exchanging tokens through Jupiter Ultra, and standard Solana gas fees apply for on-chain transactions. The optional .canarymessenger.sol domain ($5) gives you a human-readable on-chain identity, a 500 CRED reward, referral earnings, and directly supports the small indie team behind Canary.

A .canarymessenger.sol domain is a human-readable address on the Solana blockchain that serves as your identity in Canary. For $5, you receive a 500 CRED on-chain reward, can earn USDC through referrals when friends mint, and get access to the upcoming Concierge AI assistant. Minting a domain also directly supports Canary’s development as a small indie project on Solana. You can also bring your own existing .sol domain.

Chronicles is Canary's community engagement and rewards system. By participating in the ecosystem — using the app, engaging with tokens, and completing actions — you earn CRED. CRED is settled on-chain as soulbound Token-2022 tokens through an epoch-based Merkle settlement system, giving you verifiable proof of your contributions.

Canary integrates Jupiter Ultra for token swaps, giving you access to the best prices across Solana DEXes. You can browse trending tokens, view charts and market data, and execute swaps directly within the app. Community voting and comments on each token help you see real sentiment.

Yes! You can import an existing wallet using your seed phrase, or create a new wallet directly in Canary. Your wallet address and .sol domain become your identity across messaging, voting, and the entire app. Canary also supports Solana Saga Seed Vault for hardware-backed key storage.

Canary includes a full browser with wallet connect support. You can visit any Solana dApp, connect your wallet, and interact with DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and more — all without leaving the app. The Discovery feed highlights popular ecosystem projects to explore.
