My Phantom wallet was drained on Solana. What information should I collect first?
FAQ | Updated 2026-03-18
Start with the on-chain trail
- Save the wallet address, drain transaction signatures, token account activity, and destination wallets from Solana explorers.
- Capture screenshots of the wallet activity page before the interface changes.
- Record which site or dapp you used just before the drain.
What matters most
- The exact signature that granted permission or initiated the drain.
- The token list and balances before and after the incident.
- Any NFT approvals or suspicious swaps that happened right before the loss.
How to secure the situation
- Stop using the affected wallet and create a new one from a clean device.
- Disconnect from dapps where possible, but assume the old wallet is no longer safe for storage.
- Warn any communities or contacts if a fake mint, airdrop, or support request led to the compromise.
Where recovery efforts focus
- Solana drains move fast, so timing matters.
- The useful path is tracing where the assets were bridged, swapped, or cashed out.
