Connect Wallet

How to connect a wallet in the Zeit UI, which wallets and chains are supported, and basic safety tips to follow.

Supported Chains & Wallets

Below are the general categories of chains and wallets supported by Zeit:

  • EVM-compatible chains (Ethereum and compatible Layer 2s)

  • Wallets that implement standard browser/mobile wallet APIs (e.g., injected wallets and WalletConnect-compatible mobile wallets)

  • Hardware wallets via wallet connectors that expose Ledger / Trezor support

Note: Specific chains and wallet integrations available in your Zeit deployment can vary. Check your Zeit UI settings or your project admin for an exact list.


Connecting in the Zeit UI

1

Open the Connect modal

  • In the Zeit UI, click the wallet / connect button (usually at the top-right).

  • This opens the wallet selection modal where you can choose among available wallets and connection methods.

2

Select your wallet

  • Choose the wallet you prefer (browser-injected wallet, WalletConnect, or a hardware option if available).

  • If using WalletConnect, scan the QR code with your mobile wallet app.

3

Approve the connection

  • Your wallet will prompt you to approve the connection to the current site/domain.

  • Review the domain and the permissions requested and confirm in your wallet to complete the connection.

4

Confirm chain / account

  • After connecting, verify the selected account and chain shown in the Zeit UI.

  • If necessary, switch to the intended account or chain inside your wallet or the Zeit UI.


Basic Safety Tips

Verify the domain

  • Ensure the site URL and domain are exactly what you expect before connecting.

  • Look for obvious phishing indicators (misspellings, unexpected subdomains).

Limit allowances

  • When a dApp requests token approvals/allowances, prefer setting a limited allowance rather than unlimited where possible.

  • Revoke unnecessary allowances from time to time.

  • Use a hardware wallet

    • For high-value accounts, use a hardware wallet so private keys stay offline.

Keep software up to date

  • Keep your wallet apps, browser extensions, and OS up to date to receive security patches.

  • Many wallets and third-party tools let you inspect on-chain token approvals and revoke them.

  • Periodically review approvals and revoke those you no longer need to reduce risk from compromised dApps.

  • Hardware wallets sign transactions on-device; they require physical confirmation for each operation.

  • Use official setup instructions from the hardware wallet vendor and keep recovery phrases secure and offline.


Troubleshooting

  • If the wallet modal does not appear, ensure pop-ups are allowed and your wallet extension/mobile wallet app is running.

  • If you see the wrong account or chain, switch accounts/chains within your wallet and reconnect.

  • If connections keep failing, try disconnecting and reconnecting, or clearing the app/site-specific wallet cache if supported.
