Recipe 01: Passkey Wallet Basics

Learn how to create wallets with Face ID, check balances, and interact with Solana

What You'll Learn

✓Create a Solana wallet using passkey authentication (Face ID/Touch ID)
✓Connect and disconnect from your wallet
✓Check your SOL and USDC balances
✓Request devnet SOL airdrops for testing
✓View your wallet address and explore on Solana Explorer

How It Works

1. Passkey Authentication

Instead of seed phrases, LazorKit uses WebAuthn (Face ID/Touch ID) to secure your wallet. Your private keys are stored securely and never leave your device.

2. Smart Wallet

When you create a wallet, LazorKit generates a smart wallet address on Solana. This is a regular Solana address that can receive tokens and interact with programs.

3. No Extensions Needed

Unlike traditional wallets, you don't need to install any browser extensions. Everything works directly in your browser or mobile app.

💡 Pro Tip

This demo uses Solana Devnet (test network). Devnet SOL has no real value and is only for testing. In production, you'd connect to Mainnet for real transactions.

Code Example

import { useWallet } from '@lazorkit/wallet';

function MyComponent() {
  const { wallet, connect } = useWallet();
  
  return (
    <button onClick={connect}>
      {wallet ? wallet.smartWallet : 'Connect'}
    </button>
  );
}

That's it! Just one hook to access the entire wallet functionality.
