🚀 Getting Started: The 2026 Setup Guide

1. Secure Installation

To ensure you are using the official version (v0.92+), only download the extension from verified sources:

  • Official Website: Rabby.io
  • Browser Stores: Search for "Rabby Wallet" published by DeBank.
  • Pro Tip: In 2026, Rabby now supports Passkey Integration, allowing you to secure your local wallet access using your computer's biometric sensors (TouchID/FaceID).

2. The "Pre-Sign" Simulation

Before you finalize any setup, Rabby introduces you to its core feature: The Dry Run.

  • When you interact with a dApp, Rabby simulates the transaction.
  • It shows you exactly how your balance will change (e.g., "-1.0 ETH / +2,500 USDC").
  • It flags potential risks, such as "Contract not audited" or "Recipient address is a known scammer."

3. Importing vs. Creating

  • Migrating from MetaMask: You can import your Secret Recovery Phrase directly. Rabby’s 2026 UI includes a "Smooth Migration" tool that helps you transition your token whitelists and custom RPCs instantly.
  • Hardware Wallet First: For maximum security, Rabby is designed to be used with a Ledger, Trezor, or Keystone. It acts as a superior interface while keeping your private keys offline.

💎 New 2026 Design Features

The "All-In-One" Dashboard

The 2026 redesign moves away from the "pop-up" style and offers a full-page Portfolio Aggregator.

  • Multi-Chain View: See your total net worth across 140+ EVM chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Monad, Hyperliquid, etc.) in a single list.
  • DeFi Tracking: Your staked positions in protocols like Aave, Lido, and Uniswap V4 are tracked natively—no need for external portfolio trackers.

Rabby Gas Account (2026 Edition)

One of the most praised design updates is the Unified Gas Tank.

  • Instead of holding native tokens (ETH, MATIC, BNB) on every single chain, you can "top up" a single gas account with stablecoins.
  • Rabby will automatically handle the gas payments across any chain you use.

🛡️ Security Checklists for New Users

FeatureWhy It Matters
Approval ManagerEasily revoke permissions for dApps you no longer use to prevent "drainer" attacks.
Whitelist OnlySet your wallet to only allow transactions to addresses you have pre-approved.
Simulation AlertsIf the "Simulation Failed" red box appears, stop immediately. It often indicates a malicious contract.

⚠️ Vital Safety Reminder

Rabby Wallet will NEVER ask for your Seed Phrase or Private Key via a website or chat. If you lose your local password, you must use your physical 12/24-word recovery phrase to restore access. Never type this phrase into any site other than the official extension itself during a recovery process.
