Connecting a wallet

Your wallet proves ownership of your allocations. The platform never holds your keys.

What is supported:

MetaMask. Browser extension and mobile.

Embedded wallets through Privy are rolling out; the default for users on the fiat path. No install required. The wallet is created inside the platform, secured by the same identity verification from onboarding.

What a wallet does on MakeBanc:

It signs transactions.

Allocate to a vault: your wallet signs. Request a redemption: your wallet signs. Withdraw funds: your wallet authorises. Every action touching your assets requires your signature.

The platform builds transactions. You review and sign on your device, with your key. Nobody at MakeBanc can produce a signature that moves your assets.

Why two wallet options:

If you are already in crypto, you have MetaMask. Connect what you use.

If you are starting from a bank account and have never touched crypto, MetaMask is a hurdle: extensions, seed phrases, gas fees. Embedded Privy wallets remove those steps. Created during onboarding, accessible through your login, operating transparently behind the UI.

Same mechanics. Different experience.

Hardware wallets:

Hardware wallets work through MetaMask. Ledger and Trezor connect in standard ways, and signatures work exactly like regular MetaMask.

If you are allocating size, a hardware wallet is recommended. No special configuration needed.

What the platform sees:

Your wallet address. That is the on-chain identity for your allocations.

No seed phrase. No private key. No path to move funds without your signature.

If you lose wallet access, the platform cannot recover it. This is true of every non-custodial system. The trade-off: nobody (including the platform) can move your funds without your authorisation.

Security basics:

Strong, unique wallet password. Seed phrase stored offline, not in a cloud document. Hardware wallet for meaningful amounts. Never share your seed phrase with anyone, including someone claiming to be MakeBanc support.

The platform will never ask for your seed phrase. Anyone asking is trying to steal from you.
