I am a newbie when it comes to crypto and like an idiot I clicked on an nft and connected my wallet. They somehow drained 2600 of my staked sol on different validators, happened about 2 hours ago. Anyone I can hire to try to recover this? I feel so stupid
Is there a dollar, or amount of coins that you have set to know when it’s time to start a new wallet?
I would just think spreading around a ton would add additional fees etc, so I’m wondering if there’s like, “Oh, I separate into new wallets after I have $x amount”
My rule is to never put more than 200-250 SOL in a single wallet, but these are all HODL wallets. I never put more than like 10-20 SOL in an actively used wallet.
Also these levels all depend on your income and wealth.
And it’s not fill up one wallet then start another. If I have 500 SOL then I’d split them between 10 wallets, 50 SOL each. As I buy more, I fill each wallet in roughly equal quantities.
If I have 4000 SOL then I would do 20 wallets with 200 each.
It’s basically just, how much (in %) terms am I willing to lose at once. By using 10 wallets you limit your single wallet risk to ~10% of your entire portfolio.
The fees on Solana are so miniscule that you don’t even need to consider it.
That makes sense to me - Eth has been may largest bag, and the transfer fees would make it less worthwhile to have to split multiple times over
(Mind you, it would have saved me like a life savings, but hey, live and learn…)
