Download and Installation:

Setting up Rabby Wallet:

• Click “Get started” to begin the setup process.

⚠️ Note: Rabby Wallet Desktop currently does not support creating new wallets. It      allows the import of existing wallet addresses only.

• The “Add addresses” menu will appear showing the multiple options we have to import addresses.

1) 🔌 Connecting Hardware Wallets: there are many hardware wallets from which we can import addresses, in this case I did it with Ledger.

• Ensure your Ledger device is connected, unlocked and set to Ethereum.

• If not correctly set up, Rabby Wallet will display an error message:

• Once connected, choose from the list of available Ledger addresses to add to Rabby Wallet.

• By clicking the buttom in the left column, you’ll add the address to Rabby Wallet.

• By clicking in the right column, the assets contained in each address and the blockchains they belong to will be revealed, aiding in better indentification (Click to get the information on-chain)

2) 📲Connecting mobile wallets apps: there are many mobile wallets apps from which we can import addresses, in this case I did it with MetaMask 🦊.

• Scan the QR code displayed by Rabby Wallet using the MetaMask mobile app.

• Choose the address you want to import and scan the QR code. To scan you have to press the right upper corner icon.

• Once scanned, Rabby Wallet will show the “Scan successful” message on screen.

• MetaMask will request permission to connect the address with Rabby Wallet.

• Once permission is granted, Rabby Wallet confirms the successful import and allows you to rename the address.

3) ❇️ Importing from Safe Wallet:

• Enter (or paste) the address you want to import from Safe Wallet.

4) ☕️ Adding Contact: this feature allows monutoring the portfolio, view all activities of an address, but without the ability to perform transactions or prove ownership.

• Enter the address or the ENS (Ethereum Name Service) and add it using the “Add” button.

• The address can be renamed for convenience.

Once all desired addresses are imported, you are ready to operate Rabby Wallet from your desktop.
