Connecting a Wallet

To interact with Orion - deposit into vaults, withdraw, or create strategies - you’ll need to connect a Web3 wallet.

We recommend starting with MetaMask, one of the most widely used wallets in DeFi.

Step 1: Install MetaMask​

If you don’t have MetaMask yet:

  1. Visit the official site: metamask.io
  2. Download the browser extension for Chrome, Brave, or Firefox.
  3. Follow the setup instructions to create a wallet.
  4. Important: Store your seed phrase securely - never share it with anyone.

Step 2: Unlock Your Wallet​

  • Click the MetaMask icon in your browser’s extensions bar.
  • Enter your password to unlock your wallet.

Step 3: Connect to Orion​

  1. Go to app.orionfinance.ai.
  2. Click the "Connect Wallet" button (top right corner).
  3. Select MetaMask from the list of wallet options.
  4. Approve the connection in your MetaMask popup.

Step 4: Select the Correct Network​

  • Orion supports Ethereum mainnet and selected Layer 2 networks (check the in-app network selector for the latest list).
  • If prompted, approve the network switch in MetaMask.
  • If the network isn’t added to MetaMask yet, Orion will provide the details for you to add it.

Step 5: You’re Connected​

Once connected, your wallet address will appear in the top right corner of the app.

You can now:

  • Deposit into vaults.
  • Withdraw your assets.
  • Create and manage vaults (if you’re a curator).

Troubleshooting​

  • Not seeing the connection prompt? Refresh the page and try again.
  • Wrong network? Manually switch networks in MetaMask.
  • Using multiple wallets? Make sure only the one you want to connect is active in your browser.
