Steps to Connect Your Wallet

1. Visit the ClearX Platform

Navigate to the ClearX website or app and ensure that you are on the official, secure URL. Double-check for any phishing attempts by confirming the URL’s legitimacy.

2. Click on “Connect Wallet”

Locate the “Connect Wallet” button on the top right corner of the homepage and click on it. This will open a pop-up window displaying the list of supported wallets.

3. Choose Your Wallet

Select your preferred wallet from the list. If you are using a browser extension wallet such as MetaMask, a prompt will appear asking for your permission to connect.

4. Authorize the Connection

Authorize the connection by approving the request in your wallet interface. This step allows ClearX to read your wallet address and interact with your public blockchain data without accessing your private keys.

5. Confirmation

Once authorized, you will see your wallet address displayed on the ClearX platform. This indicates that your wallet is now connected, and you are ready to start trading and managing your funds.

Important Tips for Wallet Connection

Ensure Wallet Security

Always keep your wallet and seed phrase secure. Never share your private keys or recovery phrase with anyone. ClearX will never ask for your private keys.

Use a Secure Connection

Make sure to use a secure internet connection when connecting your wallet. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks to protect your wallet and funds from potential security threats.

Verify Wallet Permissions

Before approving any connection request, double-check the permissions requested by the platform. ClearX only needs read access to your wallet address and public blockchain data.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Wallet Not Connecting

• Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable.

• Update Your Wallet: Make sure your wallet is updated to the latest version.

• Clear Browser Cache: If using a browser-based wallet like MetaMask, clearing your cache may help resolve connection issues.

Transaction Errors

• Insufficient Funds: Make sure your wallet has enough balance to cover transaction fees.

• Network Selection: Ensure that your wallet is set to the correct EVM-compatible network supported by ClearX.
