Alternative wallets (Leap, Cosmostation, dYdX Connect)

The /app/settings trading-key wizard supports Keplr only in Phase 0. It uses the standard CosmJS OfflineSigner interface, which Leap and Cosmostation also implement — adding them is a small wrapper change in the wizard's wallet-detection code.

Phase 1 (multi-tenant SaaS opens to public users) bundles Cosmos Kit, which gives all popular Cosmos wallets out of the box. Until then, install Keplr for the wizard step. You can keep using your preferred wallet day-to-day on dydx.trade.

Leap (https://www.leapwallet.io) is Keplr's main competitor. Same model — browser extension, mnemonic-derived dydx1… address — with a slightly different UI emphasis (NFTs, DEX integration).

If you only use Leap, you'll need Keplr installed in parallel for the Botely wizard step. They coexist fine in the same browser; pick whichever account in each.

Cosmostation is the oldest Cosmos wallet, older than Keplr. Browser extension + mobile app. Same model.

Same caveat: install Keplr for the wizard step, or wait for Cosmos Kit integration in Phase 1.

dydx.trade ships an in-browser ephemeral wallet ('dYdX Connect' / 'Account in Browser') that generates a mnemonic stored in localStorage. It's the lowest-friction option for new dYdX users but has weaker security than Keplr — the mnemonic is exposed if your browser is compromised, and there's no native hardware-wallet integration.

Botely's wizard does not currently support signing via dYdX Connect because it doesn't expose a Cosmos OfflineSigner. If you registered via dYdX Connect, you'll need to export your mnemonic and import it into Keplr to use the Botely wizard.
