How to mirror a public address without connecting anything

Before you start

1. 1

   Open the Watch Address tab

   Watch Address

   From the wallet home screen open Manage Tokens, then switch from Balances to the Watch Address tab at the top of the screen.

2. 2

   Paste a public address

   Enter or paste a Solana address

   Paste the address into the field, or use the paste control to pull it from your clipboard. The field validates the format and tells you if what you pasted is not a Solana address, which catches the common case of pasting a transaction signature by mistake.

3. 3

   Start watching

   Watch address

   Confirm to begin. The simulator reads the address's public holdings and fills the token list and balances from them. A sync indicator shows how long ago the data was pulled.

4. 4

   Refresh when you need current data

   Refresh now

   The refresh control pulls the holdings again. Use it right before recording so the sync indicator does not show data from hours earlier, and so the balances match what an explorer would show at that moment.

5. 5

   Stop watching, or edit from there

   Stop watching

   Stop watching detaches the address and leaves the balances where they are, which makes this a fast way to build a realistic starting point and then adjust it. Switch back to the Balances tab and the mirrored figures are editable like any others.

It says that does not look like a Solana address.

You have most likely pasted a transaction signature or an address from another chain. A Solana address is a base58 string of roughly 32 to 44 characters with no 0x prefix. Copy it from the address field of an explorer, not from a transaction page.

The clipboard paste control does nothing.

The browser was denied clipboard permission. Type or long-press-paste the address into the field directly instead — the outcome is identical.

The token list came back nearly empty.

The address genuinely holds very little, or holds assets the read does not cover. Pick a more active address, or stop watching and set the balances by hand from there.

The sync indicator says the data is hours old.

The read is not continuous. Tap Refresh now before you record or screenshot so the figures are current.

I want to keep the numbers but drop the address.

Tap Stop watching. The mirrored balances stay in place and become editable on the Balances tab, so you can use a real portfolio as a starting shape and change it from there.
