# Connect wallet

## Connect wallet

Connect an Ethereum wallet before you generate proofs or shield assets.

### Connect to the app

1. Open `https://app.okkult.io`.
2. Click **Connect**.
3. Choose your wallet.
4. Approve the connection request in your wallet.
5. Confirm that the network is Ethereum Mainnet.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Okkult never asks for your private key or seed phrase.

Never share these with anyone.
{% endhint %}

### What Okkult requests

* Permission to connect your wallet address to the app
* Permission to read your public wallet state
* Permission to request signatures or transactions when you start an action

### What Okkult does not request

* Your private key
* Your seed phrase
* Custody of your assets
* Sensitive wallet data for storage on a server

### What happens after you connect

When the wallet connects, the app prepares your Okkult session locally.

* The app checks compliance status on-chain
* The app derives a 0zk address for the Shield module
* No data is sent to any server
