Sundial Protocol supports two categories of wallet depending on what you want to do. Use an L1 wallet to interact with the Sundial Layer 2, stake ADA, and hold testnet sBTC. Use a Bitcoin wallet (via Reown AppKit) to stake BTC directly through the BTC Locker protocol. You can connect both wallet types at the same time from the same dashboard session.
If you are using the Sundial testnet, make sure your wallet is set to the Preprod (testnet) network before connecting. Connecting a mainnet wallet to the testnet dashboard will result in a network mismatch error.

​
L1 Wallets

L1 wallets give you access to the Sundial L2, ADA staking, and the testnet sBTC faucet. Sundial supports all wallets that implement the CIP-30 browser wallet standard.

Recommended — easy network switching, widely used in the L1 ecosystem.

Recommended — official IOG wallet with a clean, beginner-friendly UI.

Typhon

Feature-rich wallet with multi-asset support.

Yoroi

Lightweight wallet available as a browser extension and mobile app.

GeroWallet

DeFi-focused wallet with built-in dApp browser.

NuFi

Multi-chain wallet supporting Cardano, Ethereum, and Solana.
1

Install your wallet extension

Download and install your preferred wallet from its official website. Create a new wallet or restore an existing one using your seed phrase. Store your seed phrase securely and never share it with anyone.
2

Switch to the testnet network (testnet only)

Open your wallet extension and navigate to its Settings or network selector. Switch the network from Mainnet to Testnet or Preprod. Your address will change to start with addr_test1 once you are on the correct network.
Skip this step if you are connecting to the Sundial mainnet.
3

Navigate to the Sundial dashboard

Go to sundialprotocol.com/dashboard in the same browser where your wallet extension is installed.
4

Click Connect Wallet

Click the Connect Wallet button in the top-right corner of the dashboard. A modal appears listing all detected wallet extensions.
5

Select your wallet and approve

Click your wallet’s name in the list. Your wallet extension will open a permission prompt asking you to approve the connection to the Sundial dashboard. Click Connect or Approve to grant access. The dashboard updates to show your address and balance once the connection is established.

​
Bitcoin Wallets

Bitcoin wallets are used for BTC staking through Sundial’s BTC Locker protocol. Sundial connects to Bitcoin wallets via Reown AppKit (formerly WalletConnect), which works with any WalletConnect-compatible Bitcoin wallet.
1

Navigate to the Sundial dashboard

Go to sundialprotocol.com/dashboard.
2

Open the Connect Wallet modal

Click Connect Wallet in the top-right corner. If you already have an L1 wallet connected, click Add Wallet or the Bitcoin wallet option in the same modal.
3

Select the Bitcoin option

In the wallet selection modal, choose Bitcoin as the chain. This opens the Reown AppKit connection flow.
4

Connect via WalletConnect

A QR code appears on screen. Open your Bitcoin wallet app on your mobile device and use its WalletConnect or Scan feature to scan the QR code. Alternatively, if your wallet supports WalletConnect on desktop, copy the connection URI and paste it into your wallet.
For testnet use, make sure your Bitcoin wallet is set to testnet3 before scanning. Testnet Bitcoin addresses begin with tb1q.
5

Approve the connection in your wallet

Your wallet will prompt you to approve the connection request from the Sundial dashboard. Confirm the approval. The dashboard now shows your Bitcoin address and BTC balance alongside your L1 wallet.

Troubleshooting

The Sundial dashboard can only detect wallet extensions that are installed in the same browser and have been set up (i.e., a wallet has been created or restored). Check that:
  • Your wallet extension is installed and enabled in your browser’s extensions panel.
  • You have completed the wallet setup (created or imported a wallet) — an extension that is installed but has no wallet created will not be detected.
  • You are using a supported browser (Chrome, Brave, Firefox, or Edge). Safari is not supported by most wallet extensions.
Try refreshing the dashboard page after installing or enabling the extension.
This error means your wallet is connected to a different network than the Sundial environment you are using. If you are on the testnet dashboard, your wallet must be on Preprod / Testnet. If you are on mainnet, your wallet must be on Mainnet.Open your wallet extension, switch to the correct network, then disconnect and reconnect from the Sundial dashboard.
When Sundial requests a transaction signature, your wallet extension should automatically open a prompt. If it does not:
  • Check whether your browser is blocking pop-ups from the Sundial dashboard domain. Allow pop-ups for sundialprotocol.com in your browser settings.
  • Check that your wallet extension is not minimized or hidden. Some wallets open as a separate window rather than a pop-up.
  • Try clicking the wallet extension icon in your browser toolbar to bring it into focus.
If the prompt still does not appear, try disconnecting and reconnecting your wallet, then repeat the action.
After completing a transaction, your displayed balance may not update immediately. This is a known issue on the testnet. Reload the dashboard page to force a fresh balance query. If the balance still appears incorrect after a reload, wait 30–60 seconds for the transaction to be processed by the node and reload again.
