### Select your wallet

Click on the logo of your preferred wallet. Note, at time of launch, we will support Compass and Fin wallets. If you're using another wallet (such as Keplr), you'll need to switch over in order to interact with the Silo frontend.&#x20;

### Approve transaction

After clicking submit, you'll be taken to your wallet to approve the transaction in another tab. Click the approve button  to approve the transaction and proceed with minting iSEI. (Note, this wallet screenshot is from Compass wallet - it may look different depending on your browser and your choice of wallet).&#x20;
