How Do I Connect My Wallet to dApps?

fomoJanuary 22, 2026

Once your wallet is set up and funded, connecting to decentralized applications (dApps) is straightforward. If you just want to trade tokens and don't need to connect to external dApps, platforms like fomo provide an integrated experience where you can trade directly within the app without the complexity of connecting to separate dApps.

Here's how connecting your wallet to dApps works:

Step 1: Navigate to the dApp

Visit the application's website. For mobile wallets with built-in browsers, use the dApp browser feature within your wallet app.

Step 2: Click "Connect Wallet"

Most dApps display this button prominently, usually in the top right corner. Clicking it will show a list of supported wallets.

Step 3: Select Your Wallet

Choose your wallet from the list. This will trigger a connection request in your wallet app or browser extension.

Step 4: Approve the Connection

Review the permissions requested and approve the connection. Be cautious of requests that seem excessive for the application's stated purpose.

Signing Transactions

When you perform actions in the dApp (like swapping tokens, buying NFTs, or interacting with DeFi protocols), transaction requests will appear in your wallet for approval.

Always review what you're signing before confirming. Consider using wallets with transaction simulation to preview the effects before you approve.

Safety Tips When Connecting

• Verify the URL: Make sure you're on the correct website. Phishing sites often use similar-looking URLs
• Check permissions: Be wary of dApps requesting excessive permissions
• Use transaction simulation: Some wallets show you exactly what will happen before you sign
• Start small: When using a new dApp, test with a small amount first
• Revoke unused connections: Periodically review and revoke permissions for dApps you no longer use

The Easier Alternative: Integrated Trading

If you primarily want to trade tokens and don't need to connect to external dApps, platforms like fomo provide an integrated experience where you can trade directly within the app without the complexity of connecting to separate dApps.

fomo handles all the blockchain interactions behind the scenes, so you can focus on finding and trading tokens rather than managing wallet connections.
