Connect Wallet


Connecting

  1. Open the HODL app and click Connect Wallet in the top-right corner
  2. OPWallet will show a connection approval popup — click Approve
  3. Your address appears in the header (truncated, e.g. opt1sq3f...ab12)
  4. If you hold HDL or WRK, their balances appear as chips in the header

Once connected, all transaction buttons in the app become active. The connection persists until you disconnect from OPWallet directly.

Identity Key

OPNet uses two keys for each wallet: a tweaked public key (used for Bitcoin transaction signing) and an identity key (used to identify the sender on OPNet). The HODL frontend resolves your identity key automatically on connection — you do not need to do anything extra.

This distinction matters for developers building on OPNet. Using the wrong key type will cause transactions to fail silently or be attributed to the wrong address.
