# Fuel Wallets: Native & Non-Native By [deNodes](https://paragraph.com/@denodes) · 2024-11-07 --- In this article, we'll explore native and non-native wallets on [Fuel Ignition](https://fuel.network/), a high-performance [Ethereum L2](https://ethereum.org/en/layer-2/) powered by the [FuelVM](https://docs.fuel.network/docs/fuel-book/the-architecture/the-fuelvm/). Understanding these wallet types is crucial for optimizing your interaction with the [Fuel network](https://x.com/fuel_network). We'll break down their key differences, helping you make an informed choice based on your needs. [Subscribe](null) * * * Native Wallets -------------- [Native wallets](https://app.fuel.network/ecosystem?tag=Wallet) are custom-built and optimized for the [Fuel ecosystem](https://app.fuel.network/ecosystem), offering seamless integration with FuelVM's unique design and architecture. These wallets unlock the full potential of the Fuel network for users, boosting both efficiency and user experience in their day-to-day activities. > For an up-to-date directory of Fuel wallets and ecosystem projects, head over to the [Fuel ecosystem page](https://app.fuel.network/ecosystem?tag=Wallet). ### Fuel Wallet [Fuel Wallet](https://wallet.fuel.network/docs/how-to-use/), the official wallet developed by the Fuel Labs team, is compatible with most Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome, Brave, and Microsoft Edge.

It leverages predicates for enhanced security, speed, and efficiency, addressing common blockchain challenges.

At the core of this tool are [predicates](https://docs.fuel.network/guides/intro-to-predicates/#predicates-101-building-stateless-defi-applications) - innovative, stateless smart contracts that power these connectors, bridging the gap between different wallet ecosystems. The [fuel connectors](https://connectors.fuel.network/) enable users to securely utilize their preferred EVM or SVM wallets on the Fuel network. For instance, users can interact with the [Fuel network](https://app.fuel.network/) using popular wallets like [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/), [Phantom](https://phantom.app/), [Rabby](https://rabby.io/), [Backpack](https://backpack.app/), [Rainbow](https://rainbow.me/), [Keplr](https://www.keplr.app/), and more. ### How does this work? When using connectors with your EVM or SVM addresses, Fuel associates them with a predicate that replicates your wallet signatures on Fuel, creating a corresponding Fuel address. Every signature you make with your EVM or SVM wallet is assessed by the predicate. This allows any wallet to interface with dApps on Ignition, providing a seamless experience when using Fuel. These predicates, which replicate your signatures, are entirely non-custodial—you alone control them through your signatures. ![The diagram created by @bajpaiharsh244](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/df57c13efb9a182c4012bda212f410c3daca2f3f7a558a8d464ef53197b032b7.png) The diagram created by @bajpaiharsh244 > **Important**: When using your existing EVM or SVM wallets with Fuel, there's no need to import your seed phrase to the Fuel wallet. **Remember** to always keep your seed phrase safe and private! * * * **Using Non-Native Wallets** ---------------------------- Fuel Connectors offer compatibility with various wallets, enabling you to use your EVM or SVM wallets on [Fuel Ignition](https://fuel.mirror.xyz/U2xqey0oZFCrIBf7bO3yYyFplJKiJ0sfzAyYmhrPjag). However, it's important to understand the difference between native and non-native wallets. Non-native wallets may have limited functionality compared to native ones. Over time, these limitations will be addressed as wallet providers directly integrate the Fuel network. _We also recommend checking_ [_the official non-technical guide_](https://docs.fuel.network/guides/fuel-connectors/non-technical-guide/) _on non-native wallets used via Fuel connectors._ ### Balance Visibility Asset balances are visible on Ignition dApps and the [Fuel explorer](https://app.fuel.network/). However, non-native wallets like MetaMask can't display these assets directly within their interface. We've created a video tutorial demonstrating how to check your assets on Fuel Ignition when using non-native wallets: [![]({{DOMAIN}}/editor/youtube/play.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQzZWH_m3Z0) ### Blind Signing Exercise caution and only interact with applications that have been thoroughly vetted and are widely recognized as trustworthy within the [Fuel ecosystem](https://app.fuel.network/ecosystem). * * * Wallet FAQs ----------- ### How can I find my Fuel address if I'm using an EVM/SVM wallet? To find your Fuel address, simply visit the [Fuel Connectors](https://connectors.fuel.network/) site, connect your EVM/SVM wallet, and your Fuel address will be displayed on the dashboard. [ Fuel Connectors --------------- Fuel enables developers to build integrations with any wallet. https://connectors.fuel.network ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3b0dc929356bbe9f9896a9cbe23c3e30ec112bfd3deb567556093dd753864115.png) ](https://connectors.fuel.network/) ### Are my Fuel address and EVM address the same? If you're using your EVM wallet with Fuel connectors, you'll have a different address on Fuel than your EVM address. Generally, Fuel and EVM addresses have distinct formats: * **Fuel addresses** are 32 bytes long and are computed using the SHA-256 hash of the public key. * **EVM addresses** are 20 bytes long and are typically derived using the keccak-256 hash of the public key. ### **Do I need to import my seed phrase into a Fuel wallet?** Technically, you can use the same seed phrase from your EVM/SVM wallet, but it **won't** be associated with your existing EVM/SVM wallet. It's best to generate a new seed phrase for your Fuel wallet. ### Is it secure to use Fuel connectors? Yes, it's completely secure and has been audited. Fuel connectors are entirely non-custodial, meaning you alone control them through your signatures. ### Does using Fuel or EVM/SVM wallets affect my points? No, your points accumulate regardless of the type of wallet you're using. For more details on point calculation, please refer to the Point Program FAQs.
