How to connect an Ethereum wallet

Allown follows an Ethereum wallet by its address: ether and the established tokens on it (USDT, USDC, DAI, WBTC and more), with every transfer in and out. No keys needed.

What you need

  • Your wallet app (MetaMask, Ledger, Trust Wallet, Rabby…)
  • One minute

Step by step

  1. Copy your address

    1. Receive
    2. Ethereum
    3. Copy

    In MetaMask, click the account name at the top: the address is copied. In Trust Wallet or Ledger Live, choose Receive, then Ethereum, and copy it. It starts with 0x and is 42 characters long.

  2. Paste it into Allown

    In Allown, open the account you want to fill, choose Add connection and pick Ethereum among the wallets. Paste the address and press Connect.

    The same address exists on other networks (Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon). Allown reads Ethereum itself for now; the others are coming.

Why it’s safe

  • A wallet address is public, like an account number: anyone can look it up, nobody can move coins with it.
  • Allown never asks for your seed phrase (the 12 or 24 words) or your private key. Anyone who asks for them can take your coins: type them nowhere but your own wallet.
  • Nothing to switch off later: to stop, remove the connection in Allown.

After you connect

Ether and token balances appear within a minute, then the history: ether sent and received (with the network fees you paid) and token transfers. After that Allown checks the address every few hours.

Tokens without a market price, and fakes sent to wallets unasked (they copy the names of real coins), are left out. NFTs and DeFi positions aren't included yet.

Wallets don't record what you paid, so Allown values every coin that arrived at the market price of its day. If you moved coins in from an exchange you've connected, connect it too: the move then shows on both sides.

Questions

A token I hold isn't shown.

Allown lists tokens that have a market price and enough real holders, so look-alike scam tokens stay out. A real token that's missing most likely has no market price Allown can read yet.

Why is there an odd token in my wallet app?

Scammers send worthless tokens to many addresses to lure people to fake websites. Don't touch them; Allown ignores them.

Is staked ETH or DeFi included?

Tokens that stand for a stake, like stETH, count when they have a market price. Positions inside DeFi apps aren't read yet.
