# Connecting a Wallet

> Connect a crypto wallet to the GAIMIN Launcher using WalletConnect, so you can withdraw your GMRX.

To withdraw your GMRX out of the GAIMIN ecosystem, you first connect a crypto wallet you control. GAIMIN uses **WalletConnect**, a secure standard that links your wallet without ever exposing your private keys.

## How to connect your wallet

<Info>
  GMRX operates on the BNB Chain, so any wallet that supports BNB Chain tokens (such as Trust Wallet, MetaMask, or Trezor) can store, send, and receive GMRX. When you first use a wallet, it may not automatically recognise the token. In this case, you need to manually add GMRX to your wallet. Each wallet has its own method for adding a custom token, so please refer to your wallet provider’s instructions. In general, you add a token by creating a new custom token entry and entering its Contract Address (CA):

  **GMRX Contract Address:** 0x998305efDC264b9674178899FFfBb44a47134a76

  Before sending any large amount of GMRX, always perform a small test transaction first to confirm that the receiving wallet is correctly configured and able to accept the token.

  Please also remember that BNB is required to pay gas fees on the BNB Chain. If you want to send GMRX out of your external wallet, you must have a small amount of BNB in that wallet to cover the transaction fee.

  Once GMRX is in your external wallet, you are fully responsible for managing that wallet, including:

  * Correctly performing transactions
  * Keeping your seed phrase secure
  * Understanding wallet recovery procedures

  GAIMIN cannot access your wallet, recover lost seed phrases, or replace lost GMRX.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open wallet settings in the Launcher">
    Go to the wallet or withdrawal area of the Launcher and choose to connect a wallet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a WalletConnect session">
    The Launcher displays a QR code (or connection request). [What is WalletConnect? →](/wallet-connect)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve in your wallet app">
    Scan the QR code or approve the connection inside your wallet. You stay in control, nothing happens unless you confirm it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the connection">
    Once approved, your wallet is connected and ready for withdrawals.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  WalletConnect never sees your **seed phrase** (the secret words that unlock your wallet) and never holds your crypto. **No legitimate service, including GAIMIN, will ever ask you for your seed phrase or private keys.** Anyone who does is trying to steal from you.
</Warning>

## You stay in control

WalletConnect acts as a secure bridge between your wallet and the Launcher. It lets the Launcher request actions, like a withdrawal, but every action must be confirmed by you, in your wallet. Your keys never leave your device.
