TREE NEWS update: Solana-based social wallet Hey Wallet announced it is shutting down its product and told users to back up their wallets. The wallet let users send SOL via tweets, tip creators, mint NFTs and trade across X, Discord and Telegram. No reason for the closure or a timeline was given in the announcement.
Solana Social Wallet Hey Wallet Shuts Down, Urges Users to Back Up
A social wallet built around sending SOL through tweets and tipping creators is a niche bet on distribution rather than on-chain novelty, and its quiet closure without a stated reason or timeline leaves the social-crypto thesis looking harder to sustain than the tooling itself. The immediate practical consequence lands on existing users, who must act on the backup notice before access disappears. Whether other wallets pursuing the same social-graph approach face similar pressure is the open question, and the absence of any explanation makes that harder to judge.
