# Connecting a wallet

Connecting a wallet proves an address belongs to you. It is what lets Tachyo show your own wallets scored, and what links your OKX activity to your account.

## How to connect

**On desktop.** Open **Connect wallet** from your profile. You can connect with the **OKX Wallet browser extension**, or scan a **QR code** with the OKX app on your phone.

**On mobile.** The connect flow runs through Telegram, in [**@barryauthbot**](https://t.me/barryauthbot). Open it on the phone that has your wallet.

Both paths support **EVM and Solana** addresses.

## What you are actually signing

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tachyo never asks you to sign a transaction.** Proof of ownership is either completing the connect session or signing a plain message. No transaction is ever requested, and no approval that could move funds is ever needed.
{% endhint %}

The permission requested is deliberately narrow: message signing only. If a wallet prompt ever asks for transaction-signing rights in the name of connecting to Tachyo, stop and [report it](/platform/feedback.md). That is not what the product asks for.

Tachyo needs a **public address** to score. Nothing about connecting gives the platform the ability to move anything.

## What connecting gives you

* **Your own wallets, scored**: your tier, on your profile, by the same rules as everyone else.
* **Your OKX volume recognised**, which is what account-level unlocks are measured on.
* **A verified identity across surfaces**: the same account whether you arrive from the web app or from Telegram.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                  | What to do                                                                                              |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| QR scan does nothing     | Make sure you are scanning with the OKX app itself, not a generic camera app.                           |
| Extension not detected   | Check the OKX extension is unlocked and enabled for the site, then reload.                              |
| The session drops midway | Start again from the profile. A failed connect leaves nothing behind.                                   |
| Connected but no tier    | Normal for a wallet without enough closed-trade history. See [Wallet tiers](/concepts/wallet-tiers.md). |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tachyo.ai/account/connecting-wallets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
