# Connect a Wallet

**The two browser-wallet paths — Phantom and MetaMask — share the same five-step flow: install, unlock, open the modal, pick the wallet, approve.**

Connecting a wallet is the standard way to start trading on GraphDex. Sign-in unlocks account features; a connected wallet adds the funds and signing capability the order panel needs. Phantom and MetaMask sit at the top of the sign-in modal — pick whichever extension you already have.

If the modal reports `No Phantom Detected` or `No MetaMask Detected`, the extension isn't installed or isn't reachable from your current browser session. Install and unlock it before re-opening the modal.

**Five steps, then trade**

Install the extension, unlock it, open the modal, pick the wallet, approve the connection prompt in the wallet.
{% endhint %}

## CONNECT PHANTOM

1. Install and unlock **Phantom** in your browser.
2. Open the GraphDex Terminal.
3. Click `Connect wallet`.
4. Choose **Phantom** in the modal.
5. Approve the connection in the Phantom prompt.

If Phantom isn't reachable, the modal switches to `No Phantom Detected` — install/unlock and retry.

## CONNECT METAMASK

1. Install and unlock **MetaMask** in your browser.
2. Open the GraphDex Terminal.
3. Click `Connect wallet`.
4. Choose **MetaMask** in the modal.
5. Approve the connection in the MetaMask prompt.

If MetaMask isn't reachable, the modal switches to `No MetaMask Detected` — install/unlock and retry.

## BEFORE THE FIRST ORDER

A four-line check before tapping Buy or Sell for the first time.

* GraphDex shows a `Connected` state.
* The connected wallet is the one you intend to use.
* The wallet has enough for the order and Solana network fees.
* [Trading Settings](/graphdex-docs/trading/trading-settings-overview.md) match the execution profile you want.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only approve wallet prompts that you understand. If a prompt looks unexpected, cancel it and double-check you're on the official `terminal.graphdex.io` URL. See [Wallet Security Notes](/graphdex-docs/wallet/wallet-security-notes.md).
{% endhint %}

## FAQs

<details>

<summary>Which wallets are supported in the modal?</summary>

**Phantom** and **MetaMask** as the two direct wallet options. The modal also exposes **Telegram**, **Google**, and **Email** sign-in — those don't require a wallet extension upfront.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What does <code>No Phantom Detected</code> / <code>No MetaMask Detected</code> mean?</summary>

The extension isn't installed or isn't reachable from the current tab. Install it from the wallet's official site, unlock it, refresh the terminal, and re-open the modal.

</details>

<details>

<summary>The wallet prompt looks suspicious — what should I do?</summary>

Cancel it. Confirm you're on `terminal.graphdex.io` and not a phishing copy. Then retry the connection. See [Wallet Security Notes](/graphdex-docs/wallet/wallet-security-notes.md).

</details>

<details>

<summary>How do I confirm the right wallet is connected?</summary>

Check the wallet address shown by the terminal in the bottom toolbar against the address in your wallet extension. If they match, the right wallet is connected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

```
GET https://graphdex-1.gitbook.io/graphdex-docs/getting-started/connect-a-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
