Look for USDT support on Solana
A wallet may support Solana without making every token flow obvious. Confirm that USDT balances and transfers are visible before relying on it.
The wallet should also make the selected network clear when you copy or paste addresses.
Prioritize recovery and security
Use wallets that explain seed phrase backup clearly. Losing a seed phrase can mean losing access to funds.
Enable device-level security and avoid storing seed phrases in screenshots, chats, or cloud notes.
Check mobile usability
Many Kenyan users complete payment workflows on mobile. A wallet should make copy, paste, QR scanning, and transaction review simple on a phone.
Before sending a large amount, test with a small transfer if you are using a wallet for the first time.
