Wallet safety

Valley Explorers is designed so a wallet is optional and the one transaction it ever asks for is easy to understand. These rules keep you safe here and everywhere else on Solana.

Never share your seed phrase

Your seed phrase (also called a secret recovery phrase) is the 12 or 24 words your wallet showed you when you set it up. Anyone who has it controls everything in your wallet. The same goes for your private key.

The game will never ask for your seed phrase

There is no screen in Valley Explorers, and no page on these docs, that asks for your seed phrase or private key. Nobody from the project will ask for it, in a message, a form, a "support" chat or a "wallet verification" page. Anyone who asks is trying to steal from you.

Only ever type your seed phrase into your own wallet app, when restoring your own wallet.

Use the real sites

The game is at playpve.xyz and these docs are at docs.playpve.xyz. Check the address bar before you connect a wallet. Look-alike addresses are a common trick.

What connecting shares

Connecting your wallet gives the game your public address, the same thing you'd share to receive tokens. With it, the game can read your $PVE and SOL balances. Connecting cannot move anything out of your wallet. Moving anything always needs a separate approval in your wallet.

The only thing you'll be asked to sign

The game only ever asks your wallet to sign one kind of transaction: a $PVE Market purchase, after you choose an item yourself (the Grove permit is one of them). It burns the item's price from your own wallet and adds a short memo receipt such as pve:v1:permit:1. See $PVE Market and Grove permit, step by step.

The game never asks you to:

• send $PVE or SOL to anyone,
• approve or delegate spending of your tokens,
• sign a message to "verify" or "claim" anything,
• or sign anything you didn't start yourself.

If your wallet ever shows a request like that while you're playing, reject it.

The transaction preview

Before your wallet opens, the game shows a Review transaction screen. Here's what each line means and what to look for:

Field	What it tells you	What to check
Action	What the transaction does	"Burn 100 $PVE for Grove Expedition Permit" (or the item and quantity you picked)
Effect	The consequence	The tokens are destroyed permanently and can't be returned
From	The token account the $PVE leaves	It's your own token account (the link opens it on Explorer)
Token	Which token is burned	The $PVE mint, matching the one on these docs
Programs	The on-chain programs it uses	SPL Token (BurnChecked) · SPL Memo
Receipt	The memo saved with the transaction	pve:v1:<item>:<quantity>, e.g. pve:v1:permit:1
Network	Which Solana network	Solana Mainnet
Network fee	The SOL fee you'll pay	A tiny amount, about 0.000006 SOL
Simulation	A dry run of the transaction	✓ Passed. If it failed, the reason is shown and you can't sign.
You get	What the game gives you	The item's effect, e.g. "Opens the Moonlit Grove, home of Clefairy and Mew."

Nothing is signed until you press Sign in wallet here, and then approve again in your wallet. Your wallet's own screen should agree: a decrease of exactly the price in $PVE and a small SOL fee, nothing else.

Good habits

• Use a wallet for play. Keep a separate wallet with only what you need for games, and keep savings elsewhere.
• Read every approval. If anything in your wallet's pop-up surprises you, reject it. You can always try again.
• Burns are final. A burn can't be reversed by anyone, including the game.
• Check the receipt. After a permit, open the receipt link and confirm it on Solana Explorer. See Verify a burn.

If you think your seed phrase has been exposed, create a new wallet in your wallet app right away and move your assets to it from a device you trust.
