Selecting and Funding a Wallet

Arbitrum wallets are applications that let you manage your Arbitrum account. Your wallet lets you connect to decentralized applications such as Beanstalk and authorize transactions. On Arbitrum, you are responsible for the security of your own funds. If you are new to decentralized finance, it strongly recommend to research best practices in wallet security before proceeding.

Beanstalk officially supports MetaMask, WalletConnect and Coinbase Wallet on desktop and mobile. WalletConnect is a protocol supported by many wallet applications. Although not officially supported, you may be able to connect other wallets such as Brave, Frame or Rabby by selecting MetaMask on app.bean.money.

Some wallets allow purchasing ETH directly within the wallet. Alternatively, send ETH from a cryptocurrency exchange to your wallet address. Make sure both sending and receiving addresses are on the Arbitrum network.
