This guide will walk you through the simple process of connecting your BitBox02 hardware wallet to the Rabby browser extension. By doing this, you can safely interact with decentralized applications (DApps) on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible chains, knowing your private keys are always secure and offline on your BitBox02.

Before you start

To ensure a smooth connection, please prepare the following:

• A BitBox02 Multi edition or BitBox02 Nova Multi edition.
• Your BitBox02 must be set up with a wallet and a backup.
• Google Chrome or Brave browser installed on your computer.
• The BitBoxBridge installed. We recommend installing it before you begin to prevent potential connection issues.
