Use DApps safely

A DApp is an app that runs on a blockchain, such as a decentralized exchange or a lending protocol. Open one from the Discover tab and FxWallet connects to it directly; for a DApp in your computer's browser, use WalletConnect. FxWallet lists DApps for your reference, but it doesn't run or endorse them and isn't liable for losses from using them, so check each one before you sign anything.

Before you connect or sign​

  • Check the website's address. Fake DApps copy the names and designs of real ones.
  • Read each request: what you're signing, the network and the fee.
  • Be careful with approvals. An unlimited approval lets the DApp's contract spend all of a token. See Token approvals.
  • Heed FxWallet's warnings, such as riskier permissions shown in orange, or a contract "identified as risky".

Add a DApp that isn't listed​

In the Discover tab, open Explore, tap +, and enter the DApp's name and URL. Take the URL from the project's official website or documentation, not from a search ad or a message: phishing sites buy ads and use addresses that look almost the same.
