Non-technical Guide
1. Your Wallet Address Will Look Different
This is expected, and it's because Fuel Connectors use a technical tool called a predicate to interact with your wallet. The address you see is the address of the predicate.
This predicate is kind of like a post office box that automatically forwards to your home address and visa versa. Anything you send from your wallet is relayed through the predicate, and anything you receive from elsewhere you receive through predicate.
The predicate is audited for secure. And your wallet address is still your wallet address. You will just see the predicate address on Fuel.
2. Funds Display in Wallets
For some Ethereum VM (EVM) or Solana VM (SVM) wallets, funds will not display in your wallet directly, unless you are interacting with Fuel native applications.
If you see this, don’t panic! Your funds are there and you can move them by following the following steps.
Step 1: Go to Fuel Explorer
Step 2: Connect your wallet
Step 3: Connect a non-native wallet
Step 4: Open drop-down and select “My Account”
Step 5: View your account and assets
Note: This will improve over time as connections between the Fuel Network and wallets are built into the wallets themselves.
3. Blind Signing
Wallets that are built for other chains (EVM or SVM, for example) will use a technique called "Blind signing" to sign transactions. There is some risk to this, and you should only interact with trusted dApps using your non-native wallet.
Conclusion
You can connect essentially any EVM or SVM wallet to Fuel via Fuel Connectors, and you can use them on the network securely. Just be aware of the above experiences as you do so.
Other Options
If you are uncomfortable with any of these experiences or risks, you can use a Fuel Native wallet. A list of trusted Fuel Native wallets is available here .
