PLEASE NOTE: If you are using the Solana snap through MetaMask your private key and recovery phrase are safeguarded within your MetaMask wallet. The Solana Snap doesn't have access to them. It operates like a dapp, merely requesting signatures from MetaMask. This means it extends your wallet's capabilities without compromising the security of your private details.
