Features

No-CLI Deploy & Upgrade

• Select a .so binary → two wallet taps → program deployed or upgraded
• Ephemeral keypair handles buffer creation and chunk writing automatically
• Cold wallet is upgrade authority from block 0
• On-chain BWD memo audit trail for every operation
• Works with any program size

CodeLens — Inline Buttons Above declare_id!()

• Upgrade — one click to upgrade your program
• Transfer Authority — move upgrade authority to any address
• Status — see current authority and upgrade status inline

Hover — Program Info on Mouseover

Hover over any program ID in a declare_id!() macro to see:

• Current upgrade authority
• Data size
• Upgradeable vs Frozen status

Program Inspector

• Scan any wallet for programs you control
• Shows Upgradeable vs Frozen status
• Correct ProgramData layout parsing

Buffer Inspector

• Scan any wallet for locked buffers with SOL
• One-click recover all locked SOL
• Excludes empty (0-lamport) buffers

All Admin Operations

• Deploy Program — no CLI, two wallet taps
• Upgrade Program — no CLI, two wallet taps
• Transfer Upgrade Authority
• Recover SOL from Buffer
• Extend Program
• Close Program (irreversible)
• Freeze Program (irreversible, double-confirm)

Right-Click Context Menu

Right-click any program ID or buffer address in your editor for quick access to Upgrade, Transfer Authority, and Recover SOL.

Supported Wallets

• Phantom (browser extension via local bridge)
• Solflare (browser extension via local bridge)
• Tangem (NFC card via WalletConnect)
• Keystone (QR air-gapped via WalletConnect)
• Any WalletConnect-compatible wallet

How It Works

Quick Start — Scan (no wallet connection needed)

1. Ctrl+Shift+P → WalletDeploy: Scan for Programs You Control
2. Enter any wallet address (or connect wallet first to auto-fill)
3. See all programs with Upgradeable/Frozen status

Or scan for locked buffers with recoverable SOL the same way. Connect your wallet first for auto-fill, or just paste any address.

Full Flow — Deploy, Upgrade, or Admin

1. Click WalletDeploy in the status bar (or Ctrl+Shift+P → WalletDeploy: Connect Hardware Wallet)
2. Choose Phantom, Solflare, or WalletConnect (QR code for Tangem/Keystone)
3. A browser tab opens at walletdeploy.com/bridge.html — approve the connection there
4. Use any command: Ctrl+Shift+P → type "WalletDeploy", or right-click a program ID, or use CodeLens buttons above declare_id!()
5. Approve in your wallet (Phantom/Solflare popup appears in browser)
6. Transaction confirmed — Explorer link in Output panel

Note: The bridge tab can be minimized after connecting. It stays active in the background and pops up only when a signature is needed. Switching between mainnet and devnet requires reconnecting (the extension handles this automatically).

Settings

Ctrl+, → search "walletdeploy" → set cluster to devnet for testing.

Configuration

On-Chain Audit Trail

Every operation includes an on-chain memo recording exactly what was signed. Deploy and upgrade operations include a BufferWriteDelegate (BWD) memo — a cryptographic proof of authorization permanently recorded on Solana.

Commands

Security

• Zero hot keys — private key never leaves your hardware wallet
• Zero backend — all transaction construction happens locally
• Zero custody — WalletDeploy never stores or accesses your keys
• Immutable audit trail — every operation recorded on-chain
