2. **Choose Your Wallet**\
   Select your preferred wallet from the list of compatible options. If you're using MetaMask, it will automatically link. We recommend logging in via **socials** since it’s more secure, seamless, and gas-efficient for most users.

3. **Authorise Connection**\
   Authorise the connection request in your wallet. This enables DarkBet to interact with your wallet for transactions and balance verification.
4. **Begin Forecasting**\
   Once linked, you can start generating crypto predictions, placing wagers, and participating in DarkBet markets!

#### Critical Notes

* Ensure you're linked to the BNB Smart Chain network in your wallet.
* Maintain some BNB in your wallet for transaction fees.
* Never disclose your private keys or seed phrases to anyone.
* DarkBet will never request your private keys or seed phrases.

#### Problem Resolution

* **Incorrect Network -** If you encounter a network error, ensure your wallet is linked to BNB Smart Chain (BSC). You can add BSC to your wallet using Chain ID: `56`.
* **Transaction Failed -** Ensure you have sufficient BNB for gas fees. Try increasing the gas limit if transactions are failing.
* **Linking Issues -** Try refreshing the page and re-linking your wallet. Clear your browser cache if problems persist.

#### Protection & Confidentiality

DarkBet incorporates Privy, a reliable third-party authentication service, to guarantee the protection and confidentiality of all participants. Privy facilitates secure wallet links, encrypted session handling, and identity confirmation, assisting in safeguarding the community from deceptive behaviour while preserving a smooth on-chain experience.
