# How to connect your TON wallet to STON.fi

In this guide you’ll:

✅ Connect your TON wallet to STON.fi\
✅ Choose the right connection method (mobile or desktop)\
✅ Understand what happens during wallet connection

### Why connect a wallet?

STON.fi is a non-custodial DeFi protocol. This means:

* Your wallet stays fully under your control
* STON.fi never holds your funds
* Every action requires your explicit confirmation

Connecting a wallet simply allows the app to:

* See your wallet address
* Request transaction signatures (you always approve them)

💡 No funds are moved during connection. No permissions are given silently.

### Step 1. Open STON.fi

Go to[ https://app.ston.fi/<br>](https://app.ston.fi/)Click Connect wallet in the top-right corner.

### Step 2. Choose how you’ll connect

**📱 If you use a mobile wallet**

1. A QR code will appear on the screen
2. Open your TON wallet app (for example, Tonkeeper)
3. Use the built-in QR scanner
4. Scan the code and continue

🔍 The scanner icon looks the same in most TON wallets — you’ll recognize it.

✅ That’s it — your wallet is now connected.

Your wallet will stay connected until:

* You manually disconnect it, or
* You clear your browser cache

### Security note

🔒 Connecting a wallet:

* Does NOT share your recovery phrase
* Does NOT give STON.fi control over your funds
* Does NOT execute any transactions

Every transaction still requires your manual approval. If someone asks for your recovery phrase, close the tab and walk away.

### FAQ

❓ My wallet is not in the list. What should I do?

Most likely, your wallet was created on another blockchain. STON.fi works on the TON blockchain only. Check our guide on [how to create a TON wallet](https://guide.ston.fi/en/start-here/how-to-create-a-ton-wallet).

❓ Desktop app or browser extension — how do I tell?

* Desktop wallet: installed as a separate program on your computer
* Browser extension: installed inside your browser and opens from the extensions menu

Both work perfectly with STON.fi.

❓ I don’t see a connection request in my wallet

This usually happens if:

* You’re logged out of the wallet
* The wallet wasn’t fully set up

Open your wallet app, make sure your wallet is active, then try connecting again.

🎉 All set! Your wallet is connected, and you’re ready to explore swaps, liquidity, farming, and staking on STON.fi.
