Rabby Wallet Extension — Your Go-To Wallet for Ethereum & EVM Networks | Official Guide
Welcome to the official getting-started guide for the Rabby Wallet Extension. Whether you're a DeFi power user managing positions across multiple chains or a newcomer exploring Web3, Rabby is designed to make your experience safer, smarter, and more intuitive. This guide covers everything from installation to advanced security features, helping you navigate the decentralized ecosystem with confidence.
1. What is Rabby Wallet?
Rabby is a self-custodial, open-source browser extension built for Ethereum and all EVM-compatible networks . Developed by the team behind DeBank, Rabby focuses exclusively on the EVM ecosystem—Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and over 90 other networks .
What makes Rabby different?
Unlike traditional wallets that require manual network switching and offer limited transaction visibility, Rabby automatically detects the correct blockchain network and simulates every transaction before you sign it . This means fewer mistakes and greater protection against malicious contracts.
Key capabilities include:
Managing tokens, NFTs, and DeFi positions across all supported chains from a single dashboard
Swapping and bridging assets at competitive rates
Connecting to any dApp with automatic network switching
Hardware wallet support for Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, and BitBox02
2. The Official Website & Download Source
The only official website for Rabby Wallet is: https://rabby.io/
Security begins with the download. Always install the extension directly from the official website or your browser's official store (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons). Avoid third-party sites or links from unverified sources—fake extensions are a common phishing vector in Web3 .
The extension is available for:
Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Brave, Edge)
Mozilla Firefox
3. Getting Started: Installation & Setup
Step 1: Download the Extension
Visit rabby.io and click the download link for your browser. The extension is lightweight and installs in seconds.
Step 2: Create a New Wallet or Import an Existing One
New Wallet: Generate a new recovery phrase (seed phrase). Write it down on paper and store it securely. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.
Import Wallet: Enter your existing 12- or 24-word recovery phrase to restore your wallet.
Step 3: Set a Password
Create a strong password to lock the extension locally. This password encrypts your data on your device.
Step 4: Start Exploring
Once logged in, you'll see your portfolio dashboard, including total balance across all chains, a 24-hour price chart, and your asset list .
4. Dashboard & Portfolio Management
Rabby provides a comprehensive overview of your entire crypto portfolio in one place:
Total Balance: Your net worth across all integrated chains is calculated and displayed at the top .
Portfolio List: Click the price chart to see balances broken down by chain. You can filter assets by specific networks .
DeFi Positions: Below your tokens, active DeFi positions are displayed. Positions with "Withdraw" or "Claim" labels allow you to interact directly within Rabby—no need to visit a separate dApp website .
Folded Tokens & Positions: Low-value assets and positions are automatically collapsed to keep your view clean .
Token Details: Click any token to view its price chart, holding value, contract address, supported exchanges, and your transaction history for that token .
5. Advanced Security: What Sets Rabby Apart
Rabby is widely recognized as one of the safest EVM wallets available, thanks to several industry-leading security features .
Transaction Simulation & Balance Change Preview
Before you sign any transaction, Rabby simulates its outcome. You see exactly what will happen—what's coming in, what's going out, and how your balance will change. This transparency helps you catch errors or malicious intent before funds leave your wallet .
Risk Alerts & Vulnerability Scanning
Rabby alerts you if a transaction poses a potential risk—such as interacting with a contract that has been exploited in the past. It also warns you about risky token approvals and reminds you to revoke them immediately .
Batch Revocation
Managing token approvals is critical for security. Rabby allows you to revoke multiple approvals in a single batch, saving time and reducing exposure to compromised protocols .
Open-Source & Audited
Rabby is fully open-source, with its codebase hosted on GitHub under RabbyHub. This transparency allows independent security researchers and developers to audit the code continuously. Professional firms like SlowMist and Least Authority have conducted regular security audits to verify the wallet's integrity .
Hardware Wallet Integration
For maximum security, Rabby integrates with Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, and BitBox02. Using Rabby as the interface for your hardware wallet lets you benefit from transaction simulations while keeping your private keys entirely offline .
6. Automatic Network Switching & Multi-Chain Support
One of Rabby's most praised features is its intelligent network handling. When you connect to a dApp, Rabby automatically detects which blockchain the dApp uses and prompts you to switch—no more manual network selection or RPC configuration errors .
Supported networks include:
Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Base, Avalanche, Fantom, Linea, Scroll, zkSync Era, Mantle, Berachain, and many more .
For custom EVM chains, Rabby allows you to add networks and track their tokens—a feature now available on both desktop and mobile .
7. Rabby Mobile: Your Portfolio on the Go
Rabby is available as a mobile app for iOS and Android, providing the same rich portfolio management features as the desktop extension. Recent updates have brought custom network token support to mobile, closing the gap with the desktop version and allowing users to track assets from any EVM-compatible chain on their phones .
