{% hint style="info" %}
It is recommended that users connect to Demex using Keplr, which is free, or MetaMask on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) network, which incurs low fees.

**Disclaimer**: It's important to note that the wallets used for logging into Demex and depositing tokens are different. Some wallets that are supported for depositing tokens may not be used as a login method on Demex, such as ZilPay.
