What is SolNeutral?
SolNeutral combines a wallet-connected SOL testing workspace, market research, interactive risk scenarios, and SolNeutral AI. Its current transaction feature is a self-custodied SOL reserve on Solana testnet. It does not submit orders to Drift and it does not operate a pooled vault or promise yield.
Reserving SOL wraps it as wSOL inside the connected wallet’s own associated token account. Withdrawing closes that account and returns its entire SOL balance and reclaimable account rent to the same wallet. SolNeutral never holds the keys.
Connect on Solana testnet
- Enable testnet in Phantom or Solflare.
For Phantom, visit Settings → Developer Settings → Testnet Mode → Solana Testnet.
- Open the SolNeutral dashboard.
Connect your wallet and wait for verified testnet RPC balances. The application rejects an RPC from the wrong cluster.
- Fund with test SOL.
Use Get 0.5 test SOL in the Reserve when enabled. Public testnet faucets are rate-limited and can be unreliable. The devnet SOL visible in your old screenshots is a separate balance and cannot be spent on testnet.
Deposit and withdraw SOL
Open Trade Lab → SOL Reserve. To deposit, enter between 0.001 and 10 test SOL, review the wallet-owned wSOL conversion, and sign. The transaction uses the Solana System Program and SPL Token Program. On a successful confirmed transaction, your native SOL decreases and your wallet-owned wSOL balance increases.
To withdraw, choose Withdraw all SOL. You approve a token-account close instruction, which recovers the full wSOL balance as native SOL. Partial withdrawals are not supported in this version. After either action, the page re-reads on-chain balances and links the transaction in Solana Explorer.
Important: These actions are real testnet transactions, but they are not deposits into a DeFi strategy, staking, or an Anchor vault.
Know who owns the SOL
The wallet signs every conversion transaction. The wSOL token account is derived from your public wallet key and the native SOL mint, and is verified as owned by the standard SPL Token Program. The app reads the testnet genesis hash before transaction preparation and submission, avoids using mainnet, and checks the result after confirmation.
A network response or wallet signature alone is not evidence of a verified balance change. The UI distinguishes confirmed signatures from fresh balance observations. No SolNeutral operator can recover a user’s wSOL without that wallet’s authorization.
Learn SOL and BONK paper trading
Trade Lab offers SOL/USD and BONK/USD Coinbase Exchange spot references with a virtual $10,000 practice account. Choose an asset, open a simulated long or short with educational leverage, and close positions to see demo PnL. Practice funds and positions stay in your browser, not on Solana testnet. No market orders are sent; real token swaps require separately deployed, liquid testnet markets.
The SOL/USD candlestick view uses public Coinbase Exchange spot candles. This is a market-wide reference and not a Solana testnet price or a wallet profit calculation. Scenario, hedge-ratio, collateral buffer, and PnL figures are generated from manually chosen assumptions and are never displayed as executed positions or real gains.
Some legacy research pages may include historical Drift funding observations as explicitly attributed external research. No Drift account or compatible USDC mint is required for the SOL Reserve. BONK demo trading uses a Coinbase spot reference, not a Solana testnet BONK market.
Ask SolNeutral AI
The assistant explains the wallet reserve, SOL and wSOL, SOL testnet, and the research features in natural language. The private Anthropic API key remains on the server, never in the wallet or browser. Users are not required to enter Claude keys or demo access tokens.
AI cannot authorize transactions, view wallet seed phrases, or move SOL. Public API usage requires platform-side WAF rate limiting and spending limits.
What is not a live feature?
There is no publicly deployed SolNeutral smart-contract vault, no yield strategy, no live Drift trade execution in the current interface, no perpetual order matching, and no mainnet deposits. The previous Drift execution code is retained in the source for historical review but removed from the active user journey.
Solana testnet exists for validator and network stress testing. It can experience interruptions, rate limits, and ledger resets. Only use valueless testing funds. Transaction functionality still requires verification against your deployed website and connected testnet wallet.
Confirm a signed deposit and withdrawal on testnet, verify both transaction signatures and balance movements, and test the public deployment with Phantom and Solflare.
