# Connecting Your Wallet

> Learn how to connect your Web3 wallet to MetaVault AI

Before you can deposit funds or interact with MetaVault AI, you need to connect a Web3 wallet. MetaVault AI supports multiple wallet providers including MetaMask, WalletConnect, and other popular options.

## Prerequisites

* A Web3 wallet extension (e.g., MetaMask) installed in your browser
* The wallet must be connected to the Sepolia testnet
* Sepolia ETH for gas fees ([get testnet ETH here](https://cloud.google.com/application/web3/faucet/ethereum/sepolia))

## Connecting Your Wallet

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click the Connect Wallet Button">
    On the MetaVault AI homepage, locate the purple gradient **"Connect Wallet"** button in the top-right corner of the navigation bar.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Your Wallet Provider">
    If you have multiple wallet providers installed, a modal will appear showing all available options. Click on your preferred wallet provider (e.g., MetaMask, WalletConnect).

    Each provider shows:

    * Wallet name and icon
    * Availability status ("Available" or "Not installed")
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve the Connection">
    Your wallet will prompt you to approve the connection. Review the permissions requested and click **"Connect"** or **"Approve"** in your wallet.

    <Note>
      MetaVault AI only requests permission to view your wallet address and balance. It cannot access your funds without your explicit approval for each transaction.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Network Auto-Switch">
    If you're connected to the wrong network, MetaVault AI will automatically prompt you to switch to Sepolia testnet after a brief delay. Approve the network switch in your wallet.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify Connection">
    Once connected successfully, you'll see:

    * Your wallet address (shortened format, e.g., "0x1234...5678")
    * Your LINK token balance (on desktop view)
    * A green pulsing dot indicating active connection
    * The wallet provider name (e.g., "MetaMask")
    * A disconnect button (logout icon)
