Lifinity wallet

What is Lifinity (LFNTY)?

Lifinity runs a market maker on Solana that prices trades from an oracle feed instead of a constant product curve, and concentrates its liquidity around that price with deliberately lazy rebalancing. The other unusual part of the design is who supplies the capital: much of the liquidity belongs to the protocol itself rather than to outside depositors.

LFNTY is the SPL token attached to that protocol. Two things about it trip people up. First, the form used for voting is not LFNTY itself but veLFNTY, obtained by locking LFNTY for a chosen term; once locked, the tokens are held by the protocol and cannot be transferred out of your wallet until the lock ends, so a locked position will not appear as a spendable balance anywhere. Second, plain LFNTY behaves like any ordinary SPL token: it sits in its own token account, it needs SOL alongside it for transaction fees, and its balance does not change by itself.

So the wallet question is really about the unlocked portion, which is often bought once and then left in place for a long stretch, or held between lock renewals.

Keeping it

On a Tangem card the private key is generated inside the card's secure element and never leaves it, and the usual backup is a second identical card kept somewhere else rather than a written phrase, though a seed phrase remains an option if you prefer one. Supported networks in Tangem (1): Solana. Keys you touch twice a year are better off in something that does not need to be plugged in or charged to still work.
