How to Collect SOL Straight to an External Wallet

A launch usually ends the same way: SOL scattered across a dev wallet and however many bundle or snipe wallets you used, and you want it back in one place. Our Collect feature already handled that for wallets tracked inside the app. It didn't handle sending everything straight to a wallet you actually use day to day, like a Phantom wallet that never touched the bundler at all.

Why that limitation existed

Collect works by looking up a destination wallet's row in our database, then checking that you own it before sweeping anything into it. That check makes sense for source wallets — you're spending from them, so ownership matters. We'd applied the same check to the destination, which doesn't actually need it: nothing about receiving SOL requires the destination to sign anything. It only needs to be a valid address.

What changed

Collect now takes a destination two ways: pick a wallet already in your account, or paste any Solana address. Paste mode skips the ownership lookup entirely, since there's nothing to own — the same way any wallet app lets you send to an address you didn't generate yourself.

When this actually matters

• You keep your working capital in a personal wallet and only fund bundler wallets right before a launch.
• You want profits swept somewhere that isn't tied to your bundler account at all.
• You're testing with throwaway wallets and don't want to permanently import a real one just to receive from them once.

You'll find the toggle on the Collect panel in wallet management — pick "External address" and paste where you want the funds to go.
