Overview
Rabby Wallet is a modern browser extension wallet designed for users who interact frequently with decentralized finance (DeFi) on Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains. It focuses on usability, transaction safety, and DeFi-specific tooling — such as token swaps, contract interaction helpers, gas management, and activity tracking — while keeping account security front and center.
Key features
Clean UX for power users
Intuitive transaction workflows, an activity feed, and clear prompts help both newcomers and experienced traders manage tokens, approvals, and signed messages without confusion.
Approval & allowance management
Rabby highlights token approvals and lets you revoke or limit allowances quickly — a crucial feature to reduce smart-contract exposure and minimize risk.
Smart gas control
Advanced gas estimations, speedup/cancel options, and readable gas fee breakdowns help prevent overpaying and stuck transactions.
DeFi integrations
Built-in swaps and routing, plus easy connections to popular DApps — designed to streamline trades while showing slippage and route details.
Security & privacy
Security is a priority. Rabby stores private keys locally (encrypted) and offers standard best practices such as seed phrase backup reminders and password protection. It also surfaces dangerous actions — like high-value approvals or contract calls — with clear warnings. Users should still practice cold-storage for long-term holdings and avoid sharing seed phrases.
Getting started (quick)
- Install the Rabby extension from your browser extension store or the official source.
- Create a new wallet or import an existing seed phrase/private key (store your seed offline).
- Set a strong password and enable device-level protections.
- Connect to a network (Ethereum mainnet, testnets, or other EVM chains) and add tokens as needed.
Practical tips
- Always verify contract addresses before approving or interacting; use trusted DApp links.
- Limit token allowances and revoke unused approvals periodically.
- For high-value holdings, consider hardware wallet integration or splitting funds across accounts.
- Review transaction details (method name, recipient, value) shown by the extension before signing.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues: try refreshing the page, ensure the extension is enabled for the site, clear the browser cache, or restart the browser. For transaction failures, check gas price, nonce conflicts, and network status. If problems persist, consult Rabby’s official support channels or documentation (always reach official sources and avoid third-party links for sensitive steps).
FAQ
Can I import Ledger or other hardware accounts? Rabby supports certain hardware integrations — check the latest docs for compatibility and setup instructions.
