Once connected, the "Connect Wallet" button will change to display a shortened version of your wallet address. This indicates a successful connection.

You can click on your account icon to see more details about your connected wallet and to access account-specific features.

Success!

Once connected, your wallet address is securely stored in our database. The connection will persist until you manually disconnect or request removal through the platform.

Security Note

For your security, OrbitYield never has access to your private keys. All wallet connections require your explicit approval for every transaction.

Managing Your Wallet Connection

Status of the connection

Security Features

Our wallet connection system includes several security features:

Requesting Wallet Disconnection

(Screenshot: Disconnection request form)

To request disconnection of a wallet:

Go to your "Connected Wallets" tab in Profile Settings
Find the wallet you want to disconnect
Click the "Request Disconnection" button
Complete the form with:
- Your email address (for notifications)
- Reason for disconnection
Submit your request

After submission, your request will be reviewed by our admin team. You'll receive an email notification once your request is processed.

While your request is pending, the wallet will show a "Disconnection Pending" status in your profile.

Important Security Information

To protect your assets and ensure security, wallet disconnections require admin approval. This prevents unauthorized removal of wallet connections that could compromise your account.

This additional security layer ensures that only you can request to disconnect your wallet, and that the process is properly documented and verified.

Switching Networks

OrbitYield operates across multiple blockchain networks. You may need to switch networks in your wallet to interact with different strategies.

Automatic Network Switching

When you select a yield strategy on a different network than the one you're currently connected to, OrbitYield will automatically prompt you to switch networks. Simply approve the network switch request in your MetaMask popup to continue.

Manual Network Switching

To manually switch networks in MetaMask:

Click on the network selector at the top of the MetaMask extension
Select the desired network from the dropdown list
If the network isn't listed, you may need to add it first (see below)

Adding a New Network

If you need to add a network that's not already in your MetaMask:

In MetaMask, click on the network selector dropdown
Click "Add Network"
You can either:
- Select from popular networks in the "Networks" tab
- Add a custom network by entering the RPC details manually

OrbitYield also provides a "Add to MetaMask" button next to supported networks that will automatically configure the network for you.
