# Wallet Connection

{% hint style="info" %}

#### **Before you continue**

* Wallet Connections, Deposits & Withdrawals are not supported on mobile at this time.
* You will not be able to connect a wallet unless your available balance is 0.
* Rails will never request your private keys. If you lose access to your wallet, you will not be able to update your wallet address in Rails.
