How do I connect my wallet?

DIGHUb only needs your wallet at the moment you sign something — creating your account handle or publishing a capsule. Building and previewing are free and need no wallet at all.

What "connecting" actually does​

DIGHUb never holds your keys or your funds. Connecting opens a WalletConnect session — an encrypted pairing between your browser and your wallet app — so DIGHUb can ask your wallet to sign things, and your wallet always shows you exactly what it's signing before anything happens. Disconnect any time; nothing is ever removed from your wallet, and no key ever leaves it.

Step 1 — Click Connect wallet​

On hub.dig.net, click Connect wallet (top-right of every page). A QR code and a copyable pairing link appear.

Step 2 — Open your wallet and pair​

You have two ways to pair, depending on where your wallet lives:

  • Wallet on the same computer as your browser (the common case for Sage on desktop): click Copy link, then paste it into your wallet — see the exact steps for Sage below.
  • Wallet on your phone: scan the QR code on screen with your phone's camera or your wallet's built-in scanner.

Connecting with Sage (step by step)​

DIGHUb is built and tested against Sage, the recommended Chia wallet — but its WalletConnect setting is a little hidden the first time you look. Here's exactly where to find it:

  1. Don't have Sage yet? Download it and create or import a wallet first — this takes a couple of minutes.
  2. Open Sage and click the gear icon (Settings).
  3. Choose WalletConnect from the settings list.
  4. Click Add connection (the + button).
  5. Paste the link you copied from DIGHUb — or, if Sage is on your phone, tap the scan icon on that same screen and scan the QR code instead.
  6. Sage shows you which site is asking to connect (hub.dig.net). Review it and approve.
  7. Go back to the DIGHUb tab — it now shows you're paired.

Using a different WalletConnect-compatible Chia wallet? The same shape applies: look for a WalletConnect or Connect a dApp option in its settings, then paste the link or scan the QR code.

Step 3 — Sign in (one free signature)​

DIGHUb asks your wallet to sign a one-time challenge that proves you control it — this is not an on-chain transaction and costs nothing. Approve it in your wallet, and you're connected.

Step 4 — First time only: choose a username​

The first time you connect, DIGHUb asks for a short username (3–30 characters, lowercase letters/digits/hyphens). This becomes your public address (hub.dig.net/<username>) — pick something you're happy to share.

Troubleshooting​

  • Nothing happens after pasting the link — make sure you copied the whole link (use the Copy link button rather than selecting text by hand), and that Sage is fully open and unlocked.
  • Sage doesn't show a signing request — bring the Sage window to the front; some setups open the request behind the browser window.
  • "Your wallet session can't sign" — disconnect and reconnect, confirm Sage is up to date, and make sure you're not connecting a watch-only wallet. See Troubleshooting → Wallet / session.
  • Wrong network — DIGHUb runs on Chia mainnet; connect a mainnet wallet (an address starting xch1…), not testnet.
