# Manifesto

<figure><img src="/files/uKnmyDTQUzKE7PlE8Oby" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Freedom to choose your financial products and retain your data plays a key role in our vision of the future. We believe that the advanced technology of blockchain will help make important parts of our decisions trustless and permissionless. In a world where plenty of centralized entities still decide on your access to capital and basic financial services, it is of vital importance to have products that only require an internet connection to use them.&#x20;

Our vision is to bring democratized access to capital to as many people as possible. For this reason, we decided to utilize distributed ledger technology. Solana became our home, our basic infrastructure for building, while keeping a great user experience constantly in mind as an essential ingredient for our products.

# Launch your Watt token

The Launch token feature lets anyone create a liquid-staked version of an **existing Solana token** and immediately bootstrap its first Raydium liquidity pool in a single flow. Watt compresses the entire process into a single transaction pipeline.

At launch, you choose an original token and a pair asset. Watt then creates the wrapped Watt token, applies your selected economic parameters, performs the initial wrap, and deploys the **liquidity pool on Raydium**.

For now, the launch parameter boundaries are following:

* allowed paired token are SOL, USDC, JitoSOL, jupSOL and hSOL,
* at least $7,000 in liquidity is necessary to launch the Watt token,
* original token freeze authority must be revoked.

#### Liquidity ratio and pricing

The initial liquidity ratio between the original token and the paired asset should closely match the live market price. If the ratio is misaligned, arbitrage will immediately rebalance the pool and the launcher absorbs the loss.

Before confirming launch, **check the current swap ratio on Jupiter and enter matching values in the setup panel.** This ensures the pool starts near fair market price and avoids unnecessary slippage during creation.

Please pay attention to the detail, the final responsibility for matching liquidity inputs remains with the launcher.

#### Post-launch actions

After you hit Create token, both assets are deposited into a Raydium CPMM pool, and the original token is wrapped into its liquid-staked Watt version. Within about a minute, the Watt app detects the new pool and token, allowing you to **stake your LP tokens**. This step is required to start earning Watt rewards for providing liquidity.

Use the **sharing** buttons to announce the launch and let others know they can now earn real yield on the token.


# Liquid staking for tokens

Why hold just another idle token in your wallet when you can hold a liquid-staked token and earn yield along the way?

**Liquid staking** is a mechanism that allows users to stake crypto assets while simultaneously receiving liquid token representations of their staked assets. These liquid-staked tokens can be freely traded, utilized in yield-generating strategies, or used as collateral within the broader DeFi ecosystem, effectively combining the benefits of staking rewards and liquidity.

Watt Protocol introduces the first liquid-staking service for Solana tokens. Any token can be wrapped into its liquid-staked representation, enabling users to simply **wrap, hold, and earn yield**.

Moreover, since liquid-staked Watt tokens are **fully composable**, they create new possibilities for product design, allowing other protocols and applications on Solana to freely integrate and take advantage of the intrinsic yield of Watt tokens.

# Volatility farming

Imagine a world where the ups and downs of cryptocurrency prices aren't just a rollercoaster ride for investors, but actually a way to earn rewards. This is the essence of volatility farming.

### What is a volatility farming?

At its core, volatility farming is a way to make your **Solana liquid-staked tokens work for you** by taking advantage of the natural price swings in the market. In traditional finance, volatility is often seen as something to be wary of. But we turned this volatility into an opportunity - users earn rewards regardless of whether prices are going up or down. It's not about predicting the market; it's about being part of the action.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/Sv8jBNgvVqzeCa6USEIr" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Why is volatility farming important for users?&#x20;

* **Sustainable source of yield**: Volatility farming provides a new way to earn yields that is not dependent on traditional methods like dilutive staking or lending, helping users in the ecosystem diversify their DeFi strategies.
* **Market-neutral strategy**: Unlike traditional directional speculations where users profit only when prices go up, or short-selling when prices go down, volatility farming can provide returns regardless of market direction.
* **Flexibility**: Users can enter or exit their positions at any time without long lock-up periods, offering greater liquidity and control over their assets.&#x20;

The backbone of the protocol comprises of Watt assets, liquidity pools and fee distribution.&#x20;


# Arbitrage opportunities

Volatility farming works ideally in environments characterized by **rapidly changing asset prices**, a scenario common in crypto markets. The supply side of volatility farming consists primarily of arbitrageurs and traders who actively pursue opportunities arising from price discrepancies between similar assets.

The Watt protocol satisfies **all fundamental conditions** essential for successful arbitrage:

* Watt tokens are freely tradable without requiring permission or encountering any constraints.
* Watt tokens can always be redeemed back into their original underlying tokens.
* Integration with permissionless decentralized exchanges (DEXs) makes opportunities accessible to everyone.

### Examples of arbitrage trades in Watt protocol

* **Scenario 1:** Suppose the wattBONK token trades at a lower price than the original BONK token. Arbitrageurs can capitalize on this price difference by buying wattBONK on a DEX and then unwrapping it into the native BONK token. The native BONK can subsequently be sold, completing the arbitrage. This opportunity persists until the price difference between wattBONK and BONK equals the sum of the transfer and unwrap fees associated with wattBONK.
* **Scenario 2:** Conversely, if wattBONK trades at a higher price than the original BONK token, traders can take advantage of this situation by purchasing BONK tokens and wrapping them into wattBONK. The resulting liquid-staked wattBONK can then be sold on a DEX to complete the arbitrage. This arbitrage opportunity remains viable until the price difference between wattBONK and BONK matches the total wrap and transfer fees for wattBONK.

&#x20;


# Volatility farming flywheel

Let's dig deeper.

Each component of the volatility farming flywheel can be further broken down to illustrate the internal workings of the protocol. Note that the term 'Watt asset' here refers to any Solana token wrapped as a liquid-staked token.

<figure><img src="/files/3tozymVdLNXfCHHzAiMe" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Watt assets

Watt assets are a **new type of tokenized asset** within the Solana ecosystem, developed as part of the Watt protocol. These assets are designed to capitalize on market volatility and provide new yield opportunities for token holders, liquidity providers, and arbitrageurs.

Watt assets are wrapped versions of existing tokens on Solana. When a user wraps a token using the Watt protocol, they receive a corresponding *wattToken* (e.g. BONK becomes *wattBONK*) - a liquid-staked token. These *watt assets* represent **ownership of the underlying asset** while enabling additional functionality and intrinsic yield generation.&#x20;

Watt assets:

* accrue value over time due to the protocol's fee structure
* are backed with the underlying asset
* are fully redeemable at any time
* do not require you to actively claim yield, similar to how liquid-staked SOL operates
* can be tax-effective — the yield is realized when you unwrap a Watt asset back into its original token, giving you flexibility in determining when the taxable event occurs\*
* can be used in other DeFi protocols just like the original token<br>

Would you like to know more about how the yield is accrued to liquid-staked Watt tokens? Head over to the [Token ratio](/the-protocol/watt-assets/token-ratio) section.&#x20;

*\*It does not constitute a tax advice. We do not know the tax implications in your specific jurisdiction. Always consult a qualified tax advisor.*


# Token ratio

Understanding the Token ratio is straightforward yet crucial. Watt Protocol employs the **Token ratio to determine how many liquid-staked Watt tokens you receive when wrapping, and how many original tokens you reclaim upon unwrapping.**

The Token ratio is calculated by dividing the amount of original tokens stored securely in the vault (tokens are deposited into the vault upon wrapping) by the total supply of minted Watt tokens.

With each protocol transaction, a portion of the collected fees is dedicated to burning Watt tokens. Burning reduces the total token supply, which in turn increases the Token ratio. Consequently, unwrapping tokens at a higher Token ratio yields a greater amount of original tokens, effectively distributing accrued yield to liquid-staked Watt token holders. Thus, each protocol transaction contributes positively to the yield of liquid-staked Watt tokens.

The exact APR is always displayed within the application interface.

The [Burn rate](/the-protocol/fee-structure/burn-rate) parameter controls the proportion of fees specifically allocated for burning liquid-staked Watt tokens.


# Watt token specification

What are Watt assets from technical perspective?&#x20;

* Watt assets are SPL tokens utilizing the **Token-2022** transfer fee extension.
* Each token includes a built-in fee structure (see the [Fee structure](/the-protocol/fee-structure) section for more information).
* Only traditional SPL tokens without extensions can be wrapped.
* Wrapping **mints** new Watt tokens.
* Unwrapping **burns** existing Watt tokens.
* Yield accrues via the **burning** of Watt assets. This mechanism increases the ratio of original tokens to Watt tokens during wrap and unwrap actions (see [Token ratio](/the-protocol/watt-assets/token-ratio) section).


# Enabled mint authority

You may notice a prominent warning for Watt assets on various token analytics tools and explorers (e.g. Dexscreener). Each Watt token has its mint authority enabled to facilitate essential protocol functions such as wrapping. The mint function is only called by protocol instructions—a fact that was also acknowledged in [Audits](/security/audits).


# Suggested actions

Before you make a purchase, see the app’s **Suggested Action** indication—it instantly compares the live market price of your chosen Watt token with the total cost of buying the underlying asset and wrapping it yourself, then points you toward whichever route saves the most money. A **negative price difference** means the Watt token is currently cheaper than the wrap‑it‑yourself route, so head straight to the Buy tab and grab the Watt token directly. A **positive price difference**, on the other hand, signals that it’s more economical to purchase the underlying token first and perform the wrap on your own, ensuring you keep more value in your pocket.

These price differences also create [arbitrage opportunities](/the-protocol/volatility-farming/arbitrage-opportunities), letting savvy users profit by buying the cheaper option and selling or wrapping into the higher‑priced one.


# Liquidity pools

To ensure smooth functioning of the protocol, each Watt asset has a **dedicated liquidity pool on Raydium**. The simultaneous existence of both an original token liquidity pool and a Watt asset liquidity pool creates opportunities for arbitraging price differences between them. This arbitrage activity serves as one of the primary yield drivers for Watt asset holders and liquidity providers.

The protocol enables users to create Raydium CPMM pools using liquid-staked Watt tokens, allowing them to **earn both Raydium APR and Watt APR**.

Watt liquidity pools:

* are deployed on Raydium CPMM.
* require a minimum level of liquidity to be visible and selectable within the app's user interface.
* earn a share of the protocol's fees, which must be actively claimed by the liquidity providers.
* can help offset impermanent loss by providing yield from both Raydium and Watt sources.


# Two Watt token pools

A Raydium pool that holds two Watt assets is still a bit of a special case. Because of current protocol mechanics, staking rewards flow only to the pool’s **first token**. Full support is on our roadmap and coming soon.


# Fee structure

Although often perceived as unnecessary or redundant, fee distribution in Watt protocol plays a pivotal role by unlocking arbitrage opportunities otherwise inaccessible to most of Solana users.

Each Watt liquid-staked token carries a **specific fee configuration** at the token level. This fee structure maintains the volatility farming flywheel. Initial token wrappers and liquidity providers determine the optimal fee structure. The table below outlines the fees associated with each applicable action.

| Fee             | Allowed range | Note                                                                          |
| --------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Wrap fee        | 0 - 10%       | The sum of wrap and unwrap fee must be greater than 0.8%                      |
| Unwrap fee      | 0.4 - 10%     | The sum of wrap and unwrap fee must be greater than 0.8%                      |
| Burn rate       | 10 - 50%      | See explanation in [Burn rate](/the-protocol/fee-structure/burn-rate)         |
| Buy or sell fee | 0.55 - 4%     | Recognized as a transfer fee, applies on any swap or transfer between wallets |

It is generally advisable to set higher fees for more volatile assets, such as meme or AI tokens, while adopting a more conservative approach for less volatile assets like utility or governance tokens.

A small protocol fee is collected following each fee deduction to support the sustainable growth and expansion of the protocol.

Once established, the fee structure cannot be altered from the app interface.


# Burn rate

Make sure you understand how the [Token ratio](/the-protocol/watt-assets/token-ratio) works before exploring the Burn rate.

**Burn rate indicates how incurred fees are split between burning liquid-staked Watt tokens and rewarding liquidity providers in the Watt token pool.** For example, if the Burn rate is set at 40% for a certain token, this means 40% of eligible fees are dedicated to burning Watt tokens, while the remaining 60% of eligible fees are distributed among liquidity providers in a Raydium pool.

Increasing the Burn rate favours Watt token holders, whereas decreasing the Burn rate favours liquidity providers.


# APR methodology

**Annual Percentage Rate** (APR) is one of the most widely used metrics in DeFi and a common benchmark for comparing yields. Because different parts of the protocol accrue value in different ways, we use two distinct APR calculation methods.&#x20;

1\) APR for **Watt assets** is calculated as:

$$
\frac{tokenRatio\_t - tokenRatio\_{t-1}}{ tokenRatio\_{t-1}} \* 100 \* 365
$$

whereas $$tokenRatio$$ is described [here](/the-protocol/watt-assets/token-ratio).

2\) APR for **liquidity pools** listed in the app is calculated as:&#x20;

$$
\left( \frac{\mathrm{Rewards}*{\text{sum, }t\ \mathrm{days}}}
{\overline{\mathrm{LP}}*{\text{staked, daily over }t\ \mathrm{days}}} \right)
\times \frac{365}{t}
$$

Here, $$Rewards$$ refer to the amount of Watt collected fees to be distributed,\
and $$LP$$ represents the average value of liquidity staked in the pool.

To maintain healthy incentives for liquidity providers, fees are not distributed immediately upon collection. Instead, they are released gradually over several days following our **custom distribution curve**. This approach:

* Smooths out short-term APR spikes or drops caused by sudden liquidity inflows or outflows.
* Provides more consistent returns for LPs over time.

Due to this smoothing, a quick “back-of-the-envelope” APR calculation using only the 24-hour fees and the current 24-hour average liquidity from the app will not accurately match the exact realized APR.


# Action cheat sheet

# Amplifiers

<figure><img src="/files/bcPSQKztBUG5E1WYyFBS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

An amplifier is a unique designation for a user who decides to **provide initial liquidity** into a liquidity pool with Watt token. Amplifiers receive 100% of the *amplifier fee* as long as their liquidity position remains active.

Currently, the amplifier status is invite-only. If you’d like to join our honourable amplifiers, reach out on [Discord](https://discord.gg/cChe5CwQrh), send us an [email](mailto:wattsup@watt.si), or read [this article for a bit more context](https://x.com/wattprotocol/status/1970851297676111998).


# Risks & Security

Below is a non-exhaustive summary of the principal risks you assume when interacting with the Watt Protocol. Review each item carefully—understanding these factors is essential before wrapping, unwrapping, providing liquidity, or otherwise engaging with Watt assets.

**Smart contract risk**&#x20;

The Watt protocol’s smart contracts could, in theory, be exploited, resulting in the theft or permanent freezing of funds. Although this risk is inherent to all smart contracts and can never be entirely eliminated, it can be mitigated. To reduce it, we conducted extensive internal testing and commissioned independent auditors to review all on-chain programs, see [Audits](/security/audits). The onchain programs were also deployed to a devnet for rigorous testing before being propagated to mainnet.

**Third-party risk**

We are dependent on several external services—predominantly the constant-product market-maker (CPMM) liquidity pools on the Raydium DEX. Because Watt’s core functions require Raydium’s CPMM to operate correctly, any vulnerability, outage, or misconfiguration affecting that infrastructure could impair Watt or expose users to loss. For details on Raydium’s security controls, see its protocol documentation:[ https://docs.raydium.io/raydium/protocol/security](https://docs.raydium.io/raydium/protocol/security).

**Volatility insufficiency risk**

&#x20;Returns on Watt assets are driven by market volatility, an inherently unpredictable variable. During extended periods of low or “flat” price action, annual percentage rates (APR) can fluctuate sharply—or decline altogether. We seek to mitigate this exposure by promoting wider adoption of Watt assets throughout the Solana ecosystem, thereby deepening liquidity and diversifying sources of trading volume.

**Liquidity and price divergence risk**

Users should monitor the depth of liquidity in both the underlying token’s pool and the corresponding Watt asset pool. If either pool is thin, trades may suffer significant slippage, leading to potential losses. Importantly, the ability to redeem Watt assets for the original token remains unaffected by pool depth.

**Fee parameter risk**&#x20;

The initial liquidity providers set the fee schedule for each Watt asset. Fees that are too high or too low can erode net returns—both scenarios can suppress yield. Users should therefore always review the current fee configuration before trading or supplying liquidity.

**Network liveness risk**&#x20;

Outages or heavy congestions on the Solana mainnet can halt swaps and arbitrage, allowing Watt asset prices to stray materially from their underlying value. Although these dislocations are usually short-lived, users should always confirm the current status of the Solana network before transacting.

**Token-2022 extension compatibility risk**

Watt protocol relies on the Token-2022 transfer fee extension. Although support for this feature is now common across the Solana ecosystem, certain legacy wallets and applications may still handle transfer-fee tokens incorrectly—or not at all. Before interacting with Watt assets through any third-party service, confirm that it fully supports transfer-fee–enabled tokens.

<br>


# Audits

Security is the backbone of our protocol. We treat audit findings as a starting point for continuous improvement, monitoring, and alerting.

**Ackee Blockchain Security - June 2025**

We commissioned Ackee Blockchain Security to perform a full-scope audit of the protocol. All reported findings were either fixed, partially fixed, or acknowledged by the team. The report is available below.

{% file src="/files/4h6ErOZXYVUCrjxNrL36" %}

**Sec3 - May 2025**

We applied Sec3’s automated static analysis tool, X-Ray, to scan our code for over 50 known vulnerabilities. The amended report is available below.

{% file src="/files/LpPiS0ZeMXUsXUhFXWeR" %}


# User guide

Need a hand with the protocol’s basics? You’re in the right place. In the pages ahead, you’ll find a clear, step-by-step walkthrough of every core interaction so you can move from zero to confident user in just a few moments.&#x20;


# Wrap a token

Already hold the underlying token? Great! Wrapping it is a one-click job.

If you haven’t bought anything yet but know which Watt token you want, check the app’s **Suggested Action** helper first. It compares the live market price of the Watt token with the cost of wrapping the original token and highlights the better deal:

* Negative price difference → Buy: you’ll get more value by purchasing the Watt token directly in the **Buy** tab, *see example below*.
* Positive price difference → Wrap: it’s cheaper to acquire the underlying token and wrap it yourself.

<figure><img src="/files/Abt3iv6xR2lL0UnlO2AU" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Open the **Wrap** panel on the right, enter the amount of the original token you want to convert, and click **Wrap** to confirm the transaction. You’ll receive a slightly smaller quantity of Watt tokens because a small wrap fee is deducted up front, but that gap is typically recouped quickly as the [token ratio](/the-protocol/watt-assets/token-ratio) appreciates.

<figure><img src="/files/8AGWyfOvZPU3OO0qyD0G" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Done! Congratulations, your Watt tokens are now earning yield around the clock. Keep them safe, and watch the token ratio—therefore your position’s value—rise over time in the **Unwrap** panel.


# Unwrap a token

Unwrapping lets you realize all the yield you’ve accrued while holding Watt tokens. Just enter the amount you wish to unwrap, and the platform will return the equivalent quantity of the original token to your wallet. The exact amount you receive is calculated using the current Token Ratio at the moment of unwrapping.

<figure><img src="/files/eg2vr3YsKUQU0TsMrk0b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Buying and selling

Decentralized liquidity pools exist for every Watt token, so you can buy or sell them at any time. The 'Suggested Action' indication on the left helps you decide whether it’s more advantageous to purchase Watt token directly or [wrap the original token](/resources/user-guide/wrap-a-token) instead. Within the app, you can trade any asset—whether it’s the original token or its Watt variant—through Jupiter’s integrated buy-and-sell interface.

<figure><img src="/files/9SSTg4yr437WOE7k37XR" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Add liquidity into pool

First, add liquidity to a pool that includes the Watt token, then stake the resulting LP token to qualify for Watt-specific rewards. Use the action box to confirm you’re depositing into the correct pool. Pairs that match a Watt token with SOL provide the best arbitrage efficiency and, therefore, the highest yield potential.

<figure><img src="/files/lVHUJJvv0pQcs6YILlvA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

On the Raydium interface, enter the amounts you wish to supply on both sides and click **Add Liquidity**. Raydium will mint an LP token, which you can then stake in the Watt protocol.

<figure><img src="/files/R4aprG70nDeOebXFIKde" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Always verify the price ratio between the Watt token and SOL before adding liquidity. Aim for a ratio that closely matches the original-token-with-SOL pool to avoid unnecessary impermanent loss.


# Stake liquidity

After you receive your LP tokens from Raydium, stake as many as you like to start earning. Simply enter the amount, confirm the stake, and you’re all set—sit back and claim your rewards whenever you’re ready!

<figure><img src="/files/1Uq97Xyw1D0gLuqj1pXI" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Unstake liquidity

When you’re finished earning rewards from the pool, you can unstake your position in the app. Unstaking releases your LP tokens so they can be withdrawn from Raydium if you wish. Currently, only full unstaking is supported; partial unstaking is not available. To reduce your LP position, unstake the entire amount and then stake again the desired portion.

Once unstaked, you are no longer eligible for Watt pool rewards. However, the Watt token you have already pooled continues to accrue value through the increasing [token ratio](/the-protocol/watt-assets/token-ratio).

<figure><img src="/files/iVcRd6dAY0JnhTswo9m7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>


# Claim rewards

Rewards for providing liquidity in Watt-associated pools must be claimed manually. Each time you claim, the accumulated rewards are reset to zero, and new rewards start accruing immediately. You’re free to claim at any time. In addition to Watt rewards, your position also earns **trading fees from Raydium**, which are embedded in the LP tokens.

<figure><img src="/files/0aG8dU0bI82lom68mrhw" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Some pools may consist of [two Watt tokens](/the-protocol/liquidity-pools/two-watt-token-pools). Due to current protocol mechanics, Watt staking rewards can only be earned and claimed from the first token in the pair.


# Wallet Basics

### How it works and how to stay safe? Let’s keep it simple.

On Solana, a wallet is where your digital assets live. It’s your key to move, earn, and interact with apps like Watt Protocol.

Think of it as your **bank account**, **password manager**, and **ID** all in one. Except it’s fully yours. No one can reset it, freeze it, or peek inside.

### How it works

A wallet stores two main things:

* **Your public address** \
  This is the one you share (like your IBAN)
* **Your seed phrase**\
  Your private key in human form. Think of it as the master key to your vault. Keep it offline and secret.

Once you have a wallet, you’ll use it to connect to apps and websites. Each time you approve a connection or action, you’re simply signing a transaction to confirm it securely.

### Choosing a wallet

You’ve got options. These all work seamlessly with Watt:

**Browser wallets**

* [Phantom](https://phantom.app) – simple UI, perfect for beginners
* [Solflare](https://solflare.com) – full Solana support, staking built in
* [Backpack](https://backpack.app) – multi-chain ready, advanced users love it

**Mobile wallets**

* [Phantom](https://phantom.app)
* [Solflare Mobile](https://solflare.com/download)
* [Jupiter Mobile](https://jup.ag/mobile)

Create your wallet and back up your seed phrase offline. Never store it in screenshots or notes.

You can top up directly in Phantom, Solflare, or Jupiter, or buy SOL on exchanges like [Kraken](https://www.kraken.com/), [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com), or [Binance](https://www.binance.com) and send it to your wallet address.

### Once you’re set

Connect it to Watt Protocol (you’ll see the button in the top bar). From there, you can wrap tokens, provide liquidity, and start earning — all straight from your wallet.

You stay in control the whole time.

### Security checklist

Your wallet = your responsibility.\
A few small habits make all the difference:

**✅ Keep your seed phrase private**\
Never share it with anyone. Not even with support or “helpful” strangers online. Sharing it is the number one reason people lose funds.

**✅ Store it offline**\
Write it on paper or keep it in a secure hardware wallet. Never save it as a screenshot or in your notes app.

**✅ Use trusted sites only**\
Always double-check the domain before connecting your wallet. **‼️ Phishing clones look real and often hide wallet drainers. ‼️**

**✅ Verify before signing**\
If you don’t know what a transaction does, cancel it. When in doubt, ask or check official links.

**❌ Never paste your seed phrase**\
Use it only to restore your wallet. Never share it on random websites or with anyone — it’s a common phishing trick.

**❌ Don’t connect to unknown apps.**\
If it’s not verified or shared by trusted sources, stay away. It’s most likely a wallet drainer trying to steal your funds.

#### TL;DR

A wallet is your key to Solana. It holds your assets and lets you connect to apps like Watt Protocol.

Set it up, back up your seed phrase offline, and never share it with anyone.

Only connect to trusted sites and double-check every transaction you sign.

Once ready, connect to Watt Protocol and start earning. Safely, smoothly, and in full control.

### Logo

At the core of Watt’s identity is our pictogram. A bold symbol of energy, with a form that nods to yield and flow.

Its shape represents the “W” of Watt and reflects what we stand for: compounding potential, amplified liquidity, and continuous flow.

The logo combines the pictogram with a clean wordmark set in Aeonik by CoType Foundry. Use them together or independently, depending on the context.

### Clearspace

To ensure clarity and consistency, always give the Watt logo room to breathe.

Leave space around it equal to one arc from the pictogram. No other elements should enter this zone. When using the pictogram and wordmark together, keep 1.5× the arc between them for balance and clarity.

### Color Scheme

Watt’s colors are chosen with intent. Bold, bright, unmistakable. Orange fuels the spark. Green signals growth. Together they pulse with clarity and purpose, built to power Watt.

* **Watt Orange #FF5500**&#x20;

  Pure energy. Motion. Ignition. A spark of intent across the interface.
* **Watt Green #14F195**

  Flow. Growth. Yield. The signal of what’s being generated.

## Media Kit
