# Connect Wallet

## Introduction

As a decentralized exchange, no registration or login is required. Trading is done directly from your cryptocurrency wallet. The following wallets are currently supported on Demex:

* [Ledger](/welcome/getting-started/connect-wallet/ledger.md)
* [MetaMask](/welcome/getting-started/connect-wallet/metamask.md) 
* [Leap](/welcome/getting-started/connect-wallet/leap.md) 
* [Keplr](/welcome/getting-started/connect-wallet/keplr.md)
* [Encrypted Key](/welcome/getting-started/connect-wallet/encrypted-key.md)
* More options, such as WalletConnect are coming soon.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that you can deposit tokens from a **different** wallet from your "trading wallet". The wallet you first connect with is your "trading wallet". After connecting, you will be presented with [various deposit methods](/welcome/getting-started/depositing.md) for transferring funds into your trading wallet in your account deposit page.
