Using Kavo
Wallets
Kavo supports three browser wallets and connects to each one directly, so the wallet you pick is the wallet that opens.
Supported wallets
| Wallet | Install |
|---|---|
| Rabby Wallet | rabby.io |
| Phantom | phantom.app |
| MetaMask | metamask.io |
No other wallets are offered. The connect dialog shows these three and marks each one as installed or not; choosing one that is not installed opens that wallet’s official download page in a new tab.
Each wallet resolves to its own provider
With several extensions installed, the last one to load often claims the shared browser injection point. Kavo resolves each supported wallet to its specific provider, so selecting Phantom connects Phantom rather than whichever extension won the race.
Connecting
Open the connect dialog from the header or from any trade panel and pick a wallet. Your wallet prompts for approval, and once connected the address appears in the header. The session persists as you move between pages.
Wrong network
Kavo only operates on Robinhood Chain mainnet, chain ID 4663. If your wallet is connected to a different chain, the interface replaces the usual actions with a Switch to Robinhood Chain control rather than letting you submit a transaction to the wrong place.
Switching uses the standard wallet methods. If your wallet has never seen Robinhood Chain, it is asked to add the network first, with the parameters listed on Network, and then to switch to it.
Signing
Depending on the route, a trade can involve up to three signatures:
- An ERC-20 approval, if the router does not yet have an allowance for the token you are selling.
- A Permit2 allowance, required for Uniswap v4 routes because the Universal Router pulls funds through Permit2.
- The swap itself.
Kavo requests these only when they are actually needed, and reads existing allowances first so you are not asked to approve something twice.
Kavo never takes custody
Every transaction originates from your wallet and is signed by you. Kavo assembles calldata and displays quotes; it cannot move your funds and never holds them.
