How to use your wallet

Learning How to Use Your Wallet

There are various crypto wallet providers, such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and many others. Each of these providers has its own detailed user guide to help you understand how to:

  • Set up and secure your wallet

  • Send and receive cryptocurrency

  • Manage assets within your wallet

These guides are hosted on the respective wallet provider’s official website or app. We recommend referring to these third-party resources directly to ensure you have the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Connecting Your Wallet to Web Pages

To use cryptocurrency services or tools on a webpage, you'll need to connect your wallet. Here’s how the process usually works:

  1. Navigate to the Website: Visit the page where you want to access the service or tool.

  2. Click on "Connect Wallet": Look for a button labeled “Connect Wallet” (or something similar). This is typically located in the top-right corner of the page.

  3. Select Your Wallet Provider: A pop-up will appear, allowing you to choose your wallet provider (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet).

  4. Authorize the Connection: Follow the prompts in your wallet app or extension to approve the connection.

Once connected, you can interact with the page using your crypto wallet.

Your Responsibility: Staying Secure

  1. Connect Only to Trusted Websites: Always verify the legitimacy of the website before connecting your wallet. Scams and phishing attacks are common in the crypto space.

  2. Understand the Risk: Connecting your wallet means you’re granting the site access to interact with your funds. This action is entirely your responsibility.

  3. Manage Connections: After using a service, consider disconnecting your wallet for added security. Many wallets have a feature to view and manage active connections.

  4. Protect Your Recovery Phrase: Never share your wallet's recovery phrase. No legitimate website will ever ask for it.
