Connect Freighter Wallet to WalletProvider #436
Description
- Difficulty: Medium
- Labels:
feature,web3,wallet,stellar
Description
Currently, our WalletProvider.tsx uses simulated wallet states. We need to hook this provider up to the official @stellar/freighter-api to fetch the user's real address, request transaction signatures, and track network changes.
Technical Scope & Steps
- Import
@stellar/freighter-apiintosrc/providers/WalletProvider.tsx. - Replace mock connection states with
isConnected(),getPublicKey(), andsignTransaction(). - Handle state updates when a user changes networks in the Freighter extension settings (e.g., alert them if they are on Mainnet instead of Testnet).
- Implement local storage caching to persist connection across page reloads.
Acceptance Criteria
- Clicking "Connect Wallet" opens the Freighter browser prompt.
- Navbar correctly displays the abbreviated real public key (e.g.,
GB3A...2F4G) upon connection. - Changing networks in Freighter is detected and handled by the UI.

I'd like to take this issue. I'll replace the mocked state in WalletProvider.tsx with real Freighter calls — isConnected()/requestAccess()/getAddress() for connection and the Navbar public key, signTransaction() for signing, and getNetwork() to detect and handle network changes (warning if the user is on Mainnet when Testnet is expected). Connection state persists via localStorage, re-validated on load to avoid stale state. I'll also handle missing extension, rejected prompts, and revoked access.
