Linking lets a phone or desktop wallet watch your balances and prepare transactions while the ERA keeps the keys. The ERA shows a QR code that contains only public keys; the app scans it. No private key or seed word ever leaves the device.

  • Multi-chain link: one QR code carries keys for several networks at once. Use it for the ERA Wallet app (the companion app) or for any app that accepts a multi-account QR — see Link several chains at once.

  • One software wallet at a time: the ERA lists the apps it knows and shows the exact steps for each. Pick your app from the table on this page.

Steps

  1. On the main menu, tap WALLETS, then tap the wallet you want to link.

    Main menu with SCAN QR, WALLETS, RECOVERY MANAGER, SETTINGS and 2FA tiles.
    ERA: Main menu.
  2. On the wallet screen, tap the settings icon (sliders) in the header.

Note: SET FILTER shows only apps that support a given network. The i icon explains that each app supports its own set of networks; check the app's website before you link if you need a specific network or token.

  1. The wallet list opens. Swipe up to see more apps, then tap the app you want to link.

Every guide follows the same shape on the ERA:

  1. Pick the app from the list.

  2. Phone apps only: tap IOS or ANDROID and get a store QR to install the app. SKIP TO QR jumps straight to the link code.

  3. Swipe through the connection steps the ERA shows for that app.

  4. Tap SHOW QR. The QR FOR LINK screen appears; it may animate because the data does not fit in one code.

  5. Scan it with the app, then tap DONE on the ERA. You are back on the wallet SETTINGS.

Done

You know where Link lives and which guide to open for your app.
