Connecting a wallet is the first step a trader will take to use Intention Exchange (app.intention.xyz), the flagship perpetual futures DEX on the Intention L1. This page describes what the flow is intended to look like; the public app is not yet available.
Intention Exchange has not shipped to mainnet yet. The wallet-connect flow described below reflects the planned design; URLs, supported wallets, and the exact signature scheme may change before launch.

What you will be able to do

When the public app launches, you will be able to:
  • Choose a wallet from a supported list (browser-extension and hardware wallets are both planned).
  • Approve a one-time session signature that authorizes the app to read your account state and prepare orders for you to sign.
  • View your collateral balance, open positions, and order history once a deposit has been made.

Sessions and signing

Trading on Intention Exchange requires every order, cancel, and modify to be signed by your account key. The app will obtain a session credential at connect time so that subsequent actions do not pop up a wallet prompt for every order. Session credentials are scoped (action-restricted, time-bounded) and can be revoked at any time. The signing scheme is documented in API conventions — signing.

Custody

Intention is non-custodial. Your collateral remains under the control of your account key, held by the protocol’s margin system, and can be withdrawn at any time subject to position health. The app never takes custody of funds.

Security tips

  • Verify the app URL before connecting any wallet. The official URL will be published from intention.xyz when the app launches.
  • Use a hardware wallet for any account holding meaningful collateral.
  • Review session permissions before approving and revoke any session you no longer use.
When the public app and supported wallet list are finalized, this page will be replaced with a step-by-step walkthrough including screenshots.
