Handling a Wallet Connection Request

What is a Wallet Connection Request?

A wallet connection request is simply an invitation from a workspace to be able to send you blockchain assets (like tokens or NFTs) using your email address. When you accept a connection:

  • The workspace can send you digital assets using your email (no need to share complex blockchain addresses)
  • The workspace can only see your email address and public information
  • The workspace CANNOT access your wallet and perform actions on your behalf
  • You maintain full control of your wallet and assets

Accepting a connection is safe - it only allows the workspace to send you assets. They cannot access your wallet or take any actions on your behalf.

Reviewing a Connection Request

  1. You'll receive an email with the subject "Wallet Connection Request"
  2. The email will show which workspace wants to connect with you
  3. Click the "Review Connection Request" button in the email
  4. You'll be taken to a web page where you can review the request

Making Your Decision

On the review page, you have two options:

Accept the Connection

Click "Accept" if you want to:

  • Receive blockchain assets from this workspace
  • Allow the workspace to use your email for sending assets
  • Establish an ongoing connection for future asset transfers

If you don't have a Layer4 wallet yet, one will be created for you for free.

Decline the Connection

Click "Decline" if you:

  • Don't want to receive assets from this workspace
  • Don't recognize the workspace
  • Aren't interested in the connection

You can always reach out to the workspace directly if you have questions before making your decision.

After Your Decision

  • If you Accept: The workspace can start sending you assets using your email
  • If you Decline: The workspace won't be able to send you assets
  • Either way: You decide.

Questions You Might Have

Is this safe?

Yes! Accepting a connection only allows the workspace to send you assets. They cannot:

  • Access your wallet
  • Take any actions on your behalf

What if I change my mind?

You can always contact the workspace to request disconnection if you no longer want to receive assets from them or contact the Layer4 team to disconnect you from a workspace.

Do I need to understand blockchain technology?

No! You just need to decide if you want to receive digital assets from this workspace. The technical details are handled automatically.
