# Connect to PrigeeX

Connecting your wallet is how you "log in" to PrigeeX. It's instant, free, and safe;
connecting does **not** give PrigeeX any access to your funds. It only lets the app see
your address and *ask* you to approve actions, which you always confirm yourself.

## Steps

1. Open the PrigeeX app in your browser.
2. Click **Connect Wallet** in the top-right corner.
3. Choose your wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or WalletConnect for others).
4. Your wallet pops up asking you to approve the connection. Click **Connect** /
   **Approve**.
5. Done. Your wallet address and PGX balance now appear in the top navigation bar.

## Switch to Arbitrum if prompted

If your wallet is on a different network, PrigeeX will prompt you to **switch to
Arbitrum One**. Click the prompt and approve the network switch in your wallet. You need
to be on Arbitrum One for everything to work.

## What you'll see once connected

* **Your address**: a shortened version like `0x1f3F...6AA4` in the nav bar.
* **Your PGX balance**: displayed next to your address.
* **Your funds stay put.** Connecting shows PrigeeX your public address only. Your
  tokens don't move unless you approve a specific transaction.

## Disconnecting

To disconnect, click your address in the nav bar and choose **Disconnect**. This simply
"logs you out" of the app; your funds are always safe in your wallet regardless.

## Good to know

* **Your connection persists.** If you refresh the page, you'll usually stay connected.
* **Connecting is not signing away anything.** The only time funds can move is when a
  transaction pops up in your wallet and *you* confirm it. If something you didn't
  expect asks for approval, reject it. See [Security & Safety](../learn/security-and-safety).
