2. Connect your wallet and sign in

Connect your Cardano wallet, sign in for free, and find your way around Surge.

Your Cardano wallet is your Surge login. You don't need an account or a password, and signing in never moves funds.

What you'll learn

  • How to connect a CIP-30 wallet

  • How to sign the login message safely

  • What to expect the first time you sign in

  • Where everything is in the app

Supported wallets

Eternl, Lace, Vespr, Typhon, NuFi, Yoroi, Gero, Begin, CTRL, OKX and more. Only wallets installed in your browser appear in the list.

Steps

  1. Click Connect Wallet in the top right.

  2. Pick your wallet. Make sure it's on the same network as the app, shown in the bottom left (Cardano Mainnet).

  3. Sign the login message. Check that it starts with "surge.finance login" and contains your address.

  4. Approve it in your wallet. Surge verifies the signature and you're in.

  5. The first time you sign in, accept the wallet security terms. A short welcome tour follows.
