01 / THE ESSENTIALS

Rabby Wallet Extension,
without the jargon.

Wallets can feel like a lot at first. Let’s break down the essentials so you can explore at your own pace.

What is the Rabby Wallet Extension?

Rabby is a browser wallet designed to help you connect to decentralized applications and manage digital assets across supported networks. Think of it as a keyring for your Web3 activity: it keeps your wallet tools close while you browse.

The extension can make common actions—connecting a wallet, reviewing an interaction, and switching networks—feel more organized. Before anything is sent, Rabby presents a transaction preview intended to help you understand what a connected app is requesting.

Good wallet habits start before you click “confirm.” Take a moment to understand every request.

What does a browser wallet actually do?

It stores the keys you use to authorize on-chain actions and provides a bridge between your browser and Web3 applications. A wallet does not hold assets in the same way a traditional bank account does; your assets are recorded on their respective networks, and your keys let you control them.

02 / GETTING STARTED

A thoughtful first
visit starts here.

These basics can help you approach the Rabby Wallet Extension with confidence. Always verify the official source before installing any wallet software.

Visit Rabby’s official website ↗
01

Find the official source

Navigate to Rabby’s official website and follow its links to a supported browser extension store. Check the publisher and URL carefully; avoid sponsored lookalikes and unsolicited install links.

↗
02

Create or connect with care

Follow the wallet’s instructions at your own pace. Your recovery phrase is the master key to your wallet—never share it, type it into a website, or save it somewhere others can access.

⌘
03

Review before you approve

When an app asks to connect or request a transaction, pause and review the details in your wallet. A connection is not the same as a transaction, and every signature deserves your attention.

03 / A LITTLE EXTRA CARE

Your keys. Your choices.
Your safety routine.

Self-custody gives you control—and asks you to protect that control. Build a few steady habits before exploring new apps.

01⌑

Guard your recovery phrase

Keep it private and offline. No legitimate support agent needs to see it, and no app should ask you to reveal it in chat.

02◎

Check the address

Verify websites and wallet addresses from a trusted source. Small spelling changes can be a sign that something is wrong.

03◷

Pause on approvals

Read the transaction preview and understand what you’re signing. If a request feels unclear or rushed, step away.

!

Remember: wallet features and supported networks can change. Check Rabby’s official resources for the latest product details, and never rely on a blog post as financial advice.

04 / QUICK ANSWERS

A few things you
might be wondering.

Still curious? Start with the basics below.

What is the Rabby Wallet Extension used for?+

It is a browser wallet extension for managing wallet access and interacting with supported Web3 applications. Features and availability may vary by browser and network.

Is the Rabby Wallet Extension free to install?+

Refer to the official Rabby website and browser extension store for current availability, compatibility, and any applicable network transaction fees. Network fees are separate from installing a wallet.

Can anyone recover my wallet if I lose my recovery phrase?+

In a self-custody setup, you are responsible for safeguarding your recovery phrase. Losing access may mean losing access to your wallet, so store it securely and never share it.

Does connecting to an app mean I’ve approved a transaction?+

Not necessarily. Connecting typically allows an app to see a wallet address; a transaction or signature is a separate request. Review each prompt carefully before approving.

✳
ONE LAST THOUGHT

Curiosity is a
great first step.

Take time to learn the tools, check your sources, and make every on-chain decision your own.
