To enable crypto payments on Skolarships, users need to find a proper and safe wallet that supports the blockchain of their choice.

Here are a few recommended options to get started with download links and guides.

### Skolarships Compatible Wallets

* [**WalletConnect**](https://walletconnect.com)
* [**Trust Wallet**](https://trustwallet.com/)
* [**Phantom**](https://phantom.app)
* [**XVerse**](https://www.xverse.app)

{% hint style="info" %}
The suggested wallets should be connected to your browser's toolbar to allow a proper connection to the platform itself. Skolarships does **NOT** have access to your private keys or seed-phrases and **ONLY** reads your active balances and suggests transactions to make.
