  3. Scan the QR code (or deep-link) and approve connection in wallet.
  4. Confirm the connected address and selected chain in the header.

Post-connection checks

  • Confirm active network matches the route you want to execute.
  • Ensure sufficient native token balance for gas on source chain.
  • Verify token contract and amount before signing approvals or swaps.

  • Use wallet chain switcher and select a supported EVM network.
  • Re-open quote flow after network change to refresh route context.

Wallet prompt does not appear

  • Check if wallet extension popup is blocked by browser.
  • Close stale pending prompts and retry transaction.
  • Reconnect wallet session if prompt channel is stale.
