Rabby® Wallet™: The Official 2026 Getting Started® Guide
The journey to a smarter, safer Web3 experience begins at Rabby.io. Unlike traditional wallets that require manual network toggling, Rabby Wallet is designed for the modern multi-chain era. It automatically detects the chain your dApp is using and simulates every transaction before you sign, showing you exactly how your balance will change.
Why Rabby is the 2026 Industry Standard
In the wake of the 2025 "Pectra" Ethereum upgrade, Rabby has integrated advanced EIP-7702 support, allowing for smarter account management and enhanced security.
- Transaction Simulation: View the "Pre-sign" results of any transaction, including potential security risks and balance changes.
- No Manual Switching: Rabby automatically switches to the correct chain (Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, etc.) based on the dApp you are visiting.
- Open Source & Audited: The code is fully transparent and was last audited by Least Authority in late 2025, ensuring enterprise-grade safety.
How to Get Started: Official Setup 2026
1. Download the Official Extension or Mobile App
Visit Rabby.io to access the verified download links.
- Extension: Compatible with Chrome, Brave, Edge, and Firefox.
- Mobile: Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Security Tip: Rabby does not provide APK files for direct download. Always use official stores to avoid "Seed-phishing" clones.
2. Create or Import Your Wallet

- New Wallet: Create a new address and generate a 12 or 24-word Seed Phrase.
- Backup Protocol: In 2026, Rabby supports encrypted cloud backups via iCloud/Google Drive, but the "Gold Standard" remains an offline, physical backup on a metal seed plate.
3. Connect Your Hardware Wallet
Rabby is renowned for its "Hardware-First" approach. In the Getting Started menu, select "Connect Hardware Wallet" to link:
- Ledger / Trezor: Seamless USB and Bluetooth integration.
- Keystone / OneKey: Advanced QR-code (air-gapped) signing.

Advanced 2026 Security: "Clear Signing"
One of the most critical updates for 2026 is the Human-Readable Signing interface.
- Balance Change Preview: Before you sign, Rabby shows you a "+/-" display of the tokens leaving or entering your wallet.
- Permission visibility: Clearly see if a contract is asking for "Infinite Approval" and adjust it to a limited amount directly within the signing pop-up.
- Whitelisting: Add your most-used addresses to a whitelist to prevent "Address Poisoning" errors during fast-paced trading.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is Rabby Wallet free?
Yes. Rabby is free to download. There is a small service fee (typically ~0.25%) for using the built-in Swap and Bridge features, which helps fund the open-source development.
Can I use Rabby and MetaMask at the same time?
Yes, but it is not recommended for a smooth experience. You can toggle the "Flip" switch in Rabby to make it the "Default" wallet, which prevents conflicts when connecting to dApps.
What should I do if a transaction is stuck?
Rabby features a "Speed Up" and "Cancel" button that automatically calculates the necessary gas bump to push your transaction through the mempool.
