Getting StartedConnect Your Wallet

Connect Your Wallet

Connecting a wallet to DegensQuest is optional for playing games, but required for:

  • QUEST token rewards — on-chain tokens are sent to your wallet address on Base.
  • NFT ownership — cosmetics and achievement NFTs (ERC-721 / ERC-1155) live in your wallet.
  • Marketplace trading — buy and sell on-chain items.
  • Staking — stake QUEST directly from your wallet.
  • Governance — vote on protocol parameters (fee percentages, season rules, etc.) using your QUEST balance.

Supported Wallets

Any wallet that supports WalletConnect v2 or connects natively via the Coinbase Wallet SDK will work. Tested and fully supported:

What is SIWE?

SIWE (Sign-In With Ethereum, EIP-4361) is the authentication standard used by DegensQuest. It lets you prove ownership of a wallet address by signing a human-readable message — no transaction, no gas, no token approvals.

The SIWE message you sign looks like this:

app.degensquest.xyz wants you to sign in with your Ethereum account:
0xYourAddress

Sign in to DegensQuest. This request will not trigger any blockchain transaction or cost any gas.

URI: https://app.degensquest.xyz
Version: 1
Chain ID: 8453
Nonce: a1b2c3d4e5f6
Issued At: 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
Expiration Time: 2024-01-01T00:05:00Z

What SIWE grants: Proof that you control the specified address. Nothing else.

What SIWE does NOT do: It does not approve token transfers, grant spending permissions, move funds, or give DegensQuest any on-chain authority over your wallet.

Step-by-Step Connection Guide

In Telegram

  1. Open a chat with @degensquestbot or type the command in any group where the bot is present.
  2. Type /connect or tap the Connect Wallet button in the bot menu.
  3. The bot sends you a private message containing a one-time sign-in link. The link is only sent to you (not visible to the group).
  4. Tap the link — it opens app.degensquest.xyz in your browser.
  5. Click Connect Wallet and choose your wallet from the list.
  6. Your wallet app opens (or MetaMask extension activates). Review the SIWE message — confirm the domain is app.degensquest.xyz and the chain is Base (8453).
  7. Sign the message. No gas prompt will appear — this is a signature only.
  8. The browser page confirms connection. Return to Telegram — the bot confirms with: ”✓ Wallet connected: 0x…”

Via the Mini App

  1. Tap the DegensQuest button in the bot’s menu bar to open the Telegram Mini App.
  2. Tap your avatar or Profile in the top-right corner.
  3. Tap Connect Wallet.
  4. Follow the same wallet selection → SIWE signing flow.

Base Network Configuration

QUEST and all DegensQuest NFTs live on Base Mainnet.

ParameterValue
Network NameBase
Chain ID8453
RPC URLhttps://mainnet.base.org
Block Explorerhttps://basescan.org
CurrencyETH

Most wallets auto-detect Base when you connect to app.degensquest.xyz. If your wallet asks to add the network, enter the values above.

Permissions Granted

After connecting, DegensQuest can:

  • Read your wallet address to attribute QUEST rewards and display your balance.
  • Display your NFTs held at that address.

DegensQuest cannot:

  • Initiate transactions on your behalf.
  • Move tokens without you signing a transaction in your wallet.
  • Access wallets you have not explicitly connected.

Disconnecting Your Wallet

To remove the wallet link from your account:

/disconnect

The bot will confirm and your wallet address will be removed. Outstanding QUEST rewards already sent to your address are unaffected — those are on-chain and belong to your wallet regardless of connection status. Future rewards will not be distributed until you reconnect.

Security Notes

  • DegensQuest will never ask for your seed phrase or private key. If anyone claims to be DegensQuest support and asks for these, it is a scam. Report to security@degensquest.xyz.
  • Always verify the sign-in domain is exactly app.degensquest.xyz before signing any message.
  • SIWE messages include an expiration time (5 minutes). Expired links cannot be reused.
  • Each /connect request generates a unique nonce — replaying an old signed message will be rejected.
  • If you lose access to a connected wallet, disconnect via /disconnect and reconnect with your new wallet. Historical on-chain rewards remain in the old wallet address.
