Managed Solana Wallets

💡
Solana wallets are accessed by a private key, which grants total control over it. In web3 there is no fraud detection and no customer support in case you lose it! That means that a single private key holds total control over the funds of your business. To help mitigate this risk and to add utility, Decaf has a managed wallets feature.

Why managed wallets

A managed wallet unlocks the following features of the PoS:
 
Fee paying for customer’s transactions
Exiting users who may already have a crypto wallet and the right coin to pay for fees will probably not need this, but when onboarding a new user into crypto and helping them to make their first purchase, this is crucial, as they will not know that in order to execute a transaction they have to pay a fee and which is the right token to pay it in.
Existing crypto users may appreciate the nice touch, as their experience becomes seamless, not having to worry about paying a fee, and seeing a big green “free” text next to the fee amount.
NFT minting
Another nice use case this enables is minting free NFT POAPs or NFT discounts, as then they become truly accessible, being fully obtainable by anyone who just downloaded a Solana wallet.
In-Person on- and offboarding
As a merchant, offering easy on- and offboarding is essential for wider adoption, since a new user who just downloaded their wallet will not be able to acquire crypto that easily. Decaf brings a new way to onboard directly on the store itself!
Budgeting
You can create as many wallet as you want on the Decaf PoS, and assign them to a specific task! Therefore you can allocate the exact amount you want to spend on a certain service, like fee paying, NFT minting, or exchange services.
Ease of use
Decaf automates every transaction and makes the interaction with the Solana blockchain hassle-free

Setting up automatic balance alarms

🔔
Only important if you want to pay for your user’s transaction fees!
We know you have more important matters than to worry about your fee-paying wallet balance. This is why when creating a wallet you can set up an automatic check for your wallet balance, so you can top up your wallet before running out of funds to pay for your user’s fees.
On the previous video, on the wallet creation screen you can select an email to be notified and the SOL and USDC amounts to watch out for:

Then, if your managed wallet balance is below the one you set, you’ll receive an email similar to this:

Topping up your wallet

You can top up your wallet in various ways.
  1. Through our UI, when navigating to the wallet. You can select the blue top-up Icon and introduce the amount to top up. This will generate a QR code which when parsed by a Solana Pay compatible wallet (We recommend https://phantom.app/) will trigger a payment transaction directed to our managed wallet.
