Learn the steps to connect your Best Wallet to desktop websites and decentralized applications (dApps).
This is useful if you want to use your Best Wallet to buy a new token, transact on decentralized exchanges, or play on an online crypto casino all from your mobile device.
By connecting your Best Wallet, you allow your wallet to interact seamlessly with the website or dApp to carry out transactions securely without revealing any sensitive information.
Note: It is important to only connect your Best Wallet to trusted websites and dApps. If you're unsure about a website, please don't connect your wallet. By connecting your wallet and approving transactions on a phishing website, you run the risk of having your funds stolen.
The most common way to connect your Best Wallet to websites/dApps is by scanning a QR grid, often powered by WalletConnect. This is an open protocol for connecting desktop dApps to mobile crypto wallets.
Step 1: Go to the website or dApp
First, find the connect wallet button on the website or dApp you are looking to use. For example, on Dextools, the “Connect” button is on the top right.
Remember, only visit and use legitimate websites and platforms — if you're unsure, go to the project/platform's verified X account, and click the link in their bio.
Step 2: Connect your wallet
Once you’ve hit the “Connect” button on Dextools, you will go to the User Account page, where you can connect your wallet.
You can connect your wallet either with the WalletConnect option or by searching "Best Wallet".
Tap the Best Wallet option to generate the QR code that you scan to connect your wallet.
The QR grid generated will be unique for Best Wallet.
Step 3: Scan the QR grid in-app
Next, select your wallet in Best Wallet, and then tap the scan icon in the top right corner of your wallet card.
This will bring up the camera in Best Wallet. Scan the QR code — make sure the whole QR grid is within the white box.
Alternatively, you can upload a photo of the QR code by clicking on the picture icon at the bottom left of the scan page. This is useful if you screenshot the QR code on your mobile device.
Step 4: Authorize the connection in Best Wallet
Once you have scanned the QR code, a confirmation screen will pop up on your app. It will tell you about the site or dApp is trying to connect to your wallet.
You also have the option to select which wallet you want to connect — just tap your wallet name and select the one you want to use.
Once you press "Connect", you should get a confirmation that the connection to the website/dApp was successful.
Step 5: Use your wallet on the website or dApp
Your Best Wallet will now be connected to the desktop dApp or website. In Dextools, you will see that your wallet is connected on the User Account page.
You will now be able to use the crypto in your wallet to fund the actions on that platform, like swapping or staking your crypto.
Things to remember
The best crypto practice is to only connect your Best Wallet to websites or dApps you trust and are widely used. Double-check each website before, ensuring they are the legitimate website/dApp you want to use.
Although connecting your wallet is relatively safe, it is still best to exercise caution and research each website or dApp you want to interact with your Best Wallet.
Once you’ve finished using a website or dApp, it’s good practice to disconnect your Best Wallet.
