  1. A pop-up will appear the first time you enter this screen with a disclaimer making sure you understand that all dApps accessible through the in-app dApp browser are third-party dApps and are not managed by VESPR. Tap Agree and Continue to continue.

  1. Before you can make a transaction on a dApp, you must make sure your collateral is set. See Setting Collateral for more information.

SundaeSwap is a great example of a dApp that has VESPR listed as a connecting wallet. We will show you how to connect. This applies to all dApps that have VESPR listed, not just SundaeSwap.

  1. Tap on the VESPR option and check the box to agree to SundaeSwap's disclaimer, terms, and privacy policy. Then tap Connect to a Wallet below.

  1. A pop-up will appear asking you to connect VESPR to SundaeSwap.

  1. Once connected, you can interact with SundaeSwap's dApps like its decentralized exchange (DEX).

VESPR's advanced compatibility feature allows you to connect to any dApp regardless of whether they have VESPR explicitly listed on the website or not. MinSwap, for example, at the time of writing this guide does not have VESPR listed, however, you can still connect. Below we will show you how.

  1. Once connected, you can interact with Minswaps dApps like its decentralized exchange (DEX), Zap, Liquidity Pools, etc.

Next, navigate to your preferred dApp of choice by typing in the website in the Search Bar. In this guide, will use and to demonstrate how to connect to a dApp that explicitly lists VESPR on their website as a connectable wallet and a dApp that doesn't list VESPR.

Navigate to the website and tap the Connect to a Wallet button.

Navigate to the website. Tap the 3 horizontal bars on the top left of the website to open up the side menu. Then tap the Connect wallet button.

In the above right photo, you will notice that VESPR is not listed. However, you can connect as any of the Cardano wallets that they do have listed (except for MinWallet) and VESPR will still connect. VESPR's advanced compatibility feature allows you to connect to any wallet that complies with the standard. MinWallet does not support the CIP-30 standard. For this guide, we will select Nami, but you can choose any of the listed wallets (Flint, Eternl, Typhon, Gero Wallet). Remember that this method applies to all dApps, not just Minswap.
