Setting Up Capsule Connect
Capsule Connect makes it easy to use your Capsule account to sign anywhere WalletConnect is supported.
To use your wallet across apps, follow these steps:
- Head to the Capsule Connect app
- Log in with your email/social login/phone number and your passkey
- Use WalletConnect to connect your app of choice by navigating to WalletConnect within the app and selecting the Capsule tile from View All. This will open up Capsule Connect and prompt you to log in
- Once you log into Capsule Connect, you will see a prompt to approve and sign with an icon associated with the app you’re trying to connect to. You will need to revisit Capsule Connect to approve any individual transactions

Export Private Key
If you’d like to export your Capsule account private key, you can do so from Capsule Connect. Navigate to Settings, then select “Export Private Key”. You’ll then follow steps to view your private key, which you can add to another wallet of your choice. After this, you can still continue using Capsule.
NOTE: Capsule does not take any responsibility for improper management of exported private keys. Please only take this step if you understand all the risks involved.
Replace Recovery Secret
If you are unable to find your Recovery Secret, head to Capsule Connect and log in. Press on the settings icon in order to Replace Recovery Secret. This will grant you a new Recovery Secret. This will invalidate your old Recovery Secret, much like resetting a password.
Download Backup Kit
You can always download another copy of your Backup Kit here for censorship resistance reasons. Note that you should never need to use this unless Capsule services are unavailable.
Troubleshooting
If you’re facing any issues with either WalletConnect or Capsule as you’re connecting to other apps, copy the QR code link in the WalletConnect modal and paste it into the Capsule Connect App. Navigate back to the page to approve and sign transactions with your wallet.

For Users
Connecting to different applications with Capsule Connect does not give applications access to the wallet, instead requiring explicit approval on each transaction. There’s more coming in this area, if you’d like to learn more get in touch!
For Developers
For applications that have not integrated Capsule, users are prompted to confirm and sign individual transactions, which matches the default experience most crypto users are familiar with today and minimizes trust requirements for users to try new apps.
For applications that have integrated Capsule, users can use wallets cross-app directly within the app experience without needing to use Capsule Connect, offering an experience with no redirects, popups, or context switching for the user.
