01 / Wallet essentials

A wallet that helps you see what you’re signing.

Rabby Wallet is a self-custody wallet for interacting with Web3. Its browser extension brings account access and transaction review into your browser, with network-aware behavior for many EVM-compatible apps.

Your assets remain on their respective blockchains. A wallet gives you a way to manage keys and authorize actions—it is not a bank account, and it cannot reverse a transaction once it has been confirmed on-chain.

Check Rabby’s official information

Network-aware app connections

Rabby is designed around EVM networks and can help select a matching network when you connect to supported decentralized applications. Review the chain and site permissions before approving access.

Transaction previews and risk signals

Preview-style transaction insights and warnings can make a request easier to understand before signing. These tools support your review; they do not guarantee an interaction is safe.

Accounts and digital asset management

Keep track of wallet accounts and tokens across supported chains from one interface. Displayed token values and balances depend on network data and may not reflect an amount you can sell at that price.

Self-custody and compatible devices

You control your wallet credentials. Depending on the current version and setup, Rabby can also work with compatible hardware wallets—so key management remains an important part of your security routine.

This is an illustrative selection, not a complete compatibility list. Confirm the network, token contract, and dapp support inside Rabby and the official project documentation before sending assets.
03 / Smart habits, not shortcuts

Your best security feature is still a careful pause.

A helpful wallet can surface context, but only you can decide whether an action makes sense. Treat every signature, token approval, and recovery phrase with care.

Check the address bar

Use the project’s known domain or bookmark. Similar-looking URLs and sponsored search results can be traps.

Read the request before you sign

Look at the account, network, destination, assets, and permissions. Reject prompts you did not initiate or cannot explain.

Protect your recovery phrase offline

Never share it with a person, website, or support agent. Anyone who gets it may be able to control the wallet.

Verify downloads and updates

Follow links from Rabby’s official website and review the publisher before installing a browser extension.

04 / Getting started

A more deliberate first setup.

If you choose to try the Rabby Wallet Extension, take these steps in order. Never rush a wallet setup or enter recovery details into an unfamiliar page.

01

Find the official source

Start from Rabby’s official website and follow its current browser-store link. Confirm the publisher and browser before installing.

02

Create or connect carefully

Follow the wallet’s current instructions. If you import an account, do so only in the authentic wallet interface. A hardware wallet may offer a separate key-storage option.

03

Test before you transact

Explore the interface, verify the active account and network, and read any dapp permissions. Confirm the destination and fees before authorizing an on-chain action.

05 / Frequently asked questions

Rabby Wallet, plainly answered.

Quick answers about the extension, supported networks, and everyday wallet safety.

What is the Rabby Wallet extension?

Rabby is a self-custody Web3 wallet available as a browser extension and mobile app. It helps you manage EVM-compatible accounts, review transaction details, connect to decentralized applications, and work across supported networks. Wallet features and availability can change, so check Rabby’s official site for current information.

Is Rabby Wallet free to use?

Rabby Wallet is generally available without a wallet subscription fee. Blockchain transactions can still involve network gas fees, and third-party services may charge their own fees. Always review the transaction and any quoted fees before you confirm.

Which networks work with Rabby?

Rabby is designed for EVM networks and supports a wide range, including networks such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon PoS, BNB Chain, and Avalanche C-Chain. Exact network availability and individual features may change; confirm current support in the wallet or official documentation.

Can I connect Rabby to decentralized applications?

Yes. When a dapp offers a wallet connection, you can usually choose Rabby or connect through the extension. Verify the site URL, inspect the permissions requested, and review each transaction in the wallet before signing.

How does Rabby help me review a transaction?

Rabby includes transaction preview and risk-warning features intended to make approvals easier to inspect. Simulations and security signals are useful aids, not guarantees. A preview can be incomplete, so confirm the destination, assets, amounts, and requested permissions yourself.

What should I do if I already have another wallet?

You can explore importing an existing account using its recovery phrase or private key, or connect a compatible hardware wallet where supported. Never enter a recovery phrase into a website, send it to support, or store it in an untrusted place. Use Rabby’s official instructions and verify the source before importing.
