Wallet sign-in flow

TL;DR

  • Connecting a wallet takes less than a minute: open the selector, approve the connection, and you’re ready to use protected actions.
  • If anything goes wrong, the UI keeps you safe—no transaction is sent until the wallet confirms success.
  • Signing out is instant and clears the session from both the selector and the UI.
  • Vault owners and lenders follow the exact same steps; roles diverge only after this flow completes.

Step-by-step journey

1. First load

  • Wallet Selector boots and learns which wallets are available on the current network.
  • The header shows Connect Wallet unless you already have an active session.

2. Connect

  • Click Connect Wallet. We call signIn() and hand off to the wallet you choose.
  • Pick an account and approve access. If you close the popup, we surface a gentle “No worries—try again when you’re ready” message.

3. Redirect back

  • After approval, Wallet Selector stores the session.
  • The header switches to display your account name and opens the quick menu (copy account, switch network, sign out).

4. While you’re signed in

  • Actions that move funds (create vault, request liquidity, repay loans) become available.
  • Read-only browsing stays open to everyone. If you switch accounts in your wallet, the selector relays the change and the UI updates automatically.

5. Sign out

  • Use the quick menu → Sign out. We call signOut() and clear cached keys.
  • The header returns to Connect Wallet, and guarded actions lock again.

Safety checks we surface

  • Network hiccup: We catch the error and show “Please try again.” Nothing is sent to the blockchain.
  • Popup blocked: Browsers sometimes block the wallet window. We trigger the wallet’s full-page redirect if needed.
  • Expired session: If the wallet revokes the access key, the selector notifies us; we sign you out and show a short notice so you can reconnect.

Ideas on deck

  • Skeleton states for gated sections so pages don’t flash when the session changes.
  • Faster account switching without a full sign-out cycle.
