# Connect and manage a wallet

Your wallet identifies your Ethereum account, owns your Ethscriptions, and approves transactions. You can connect an external wallet, or use an embedded wallet in the supported iOS app.

## Connect, verify, and approve

These are separate actions:

| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Connect | Chooses the wallet and Ethereum address you want to use |
| Verify | Uses a signature to prove that you control the connected address and signs you in to floored |
| Approve | Confirms one specific on-chain transaction, such as a purchase, listing, or transfer |

Connecting or verifying does not approve a future transaction. Read every wallet request before continuing.

## Connect an external wallet

1. Choose **Connect Wallet** on the sign-in screen.
2. Select your wallet provider.
3. Confirm that the wallet request came from the expected floored website or app, then choose the account you want to connect.
4. Complete the verification signature when prompted.
5. Check the address in your profile before creating, buying, selling, or transferring.

To use a different external wallet account, log out of floored, choose **Connect Wallet** on the sign-in screen, and select the intended account in your wallet provider. Verify the new address when floored asks you to sign in.

floored does not receive the private key for an external wallet.

## Use an embedded wallet on iOS

When the embedded wallet option is available:

1. Choose **Create Embedded Wallet**.
2. Follow the device authentication prompts.
3. Check the new address before receiving funds or Ethscriptions.

The wallet creates and stores its private key in iOS Keychain. Device-owner authentication protects signing and sensitive wallet actions. It does not provide a seed phrase, server backup, or multi-device sync.

## Review an embedded-wallet transaction

Before device authentication, floored shows the information available for the transaction, including:

* The action type
* Destination address or contract
* ETH value and estimated network fee
* Gas limit and nonce
* Decoded function and arguments when recognized
* Media preview for an inscription when available
* Inscription data as decoded content or hexadecimal data

Only approve an action when the destination, value, and action match what you started. Use **Show More** to inspect longer transaction data.

## Export an embedded-wallet private key

Anyone with the private key has complete control of the wallet. Export it only when necessary, and keep it offline.

1. Open your own **Profile**.
2. Select the wallet icon.
3. Choose **Export Private Key**.
4. Read the warning and choose **Export** only if you are ready.
5. Complete the device authentication and native security warning.

On iOS, a successful export copies the key to the clipboard and clears it after a short time if the clipboard has not changed. If you cancel or device authentication fails, the key is not exported. Reopen the wallet menu when you are ready to try again.

Never paste a private key into floored, another website, chat, email, or a support form.

## Delete an embedded wallet

Deleting the wallet removes its key from this device. It does not move the wallet's ETH or Ethscriptions. If you do not have a safe copy of the private key, anything owned by that address can become permanently inaccessible.

Before deleting, check whether the address holds ETH or Ethscriptions. Transfer anything you need to keep, or export and safely store the private key. Then:

1. Open your own **Profile**.
2. Select the wallet icon.
3. Choose **Delete Embedded Wallet**.
4. Read the warning and choose **Delete** only if you are ready.
5. Complete device authentication.

When the wallet menu no longer shows the embedded wallet, deletion is complete. It also clears the related floored wallet information and may sign out the account. If you cancel or device authentication fails, the wallet remains on the device.

## Sign out

Choose the log-out icon in your profile controls, then choose **Log Out** to confirm. floored disconnects the current app, chat, wallet, and push-notification sessions, then returns to sign-in.

Signing out does not move or delete ETH, Ethscriptions, an external wallet account, or an embedded-wallet key. It is different from deleting an embedded wallet.

## Balance and gas information

Use Settings to show or hide your wallet balance. The gas tracker shows current Ethereum fee information, but the estimate can change before you submit a transaction.

If a wallet does not connect or a transaction remains pending, see [Troubleshooting](/troubleshooting).
