This guide shows you how to connect your BitBox hardware wallet to the Rabby browser extension.

By connecting your BitBox, you can safely interact with decentralized applications (DApps) on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains. Your private keys always remain secure and offline on your BitBox.

Before you start

To ensure a secure and successful connection between your BitBox02 hardware wallet and the Rabby browser extension, please have the following ready:

• A BitBox Multi edition.
• Your BitBoxApp & BitBox is already set up with a wallet and backup.
• An installed version of Google Chrome or Brave browser. Rabby Wallet's primary support is for these two browsers, making one of them necessary for this process.

Note on BitBox Bridge: While not mandatory for connecting your BitBox02 to Rabby on Chrome or Brave due to their native hardware wallet support, the BitBox Bridge is recommended. Should you encounter any connection issues during the setup or use of Rabby Wallet, installing the BitBox Bridge can often resolve these problems.
