Configure external connector chains

Privy supports connecting wallets on both EVM networks and Solana to your application. To configure your app for the wallet types you need, follow the steps below.

Configuring EVM/Solana external connectors

EVM and Solana
EVM
Solana

If you are connecting to Solana wallets, you must also initialize Solana connectors using Privy’s toSolanaWalletConnectors method and pass them to the config.externalWallets.solana.connectors field.

In your PrivyProvider, set the config.appearance.walletChainType to 'ethereum-and-solana'.

import {PrivyProvider} from '@privy-io/react-auth';
import {toSolanaWalletConnectors} from "@privy-io/react-auth/solana";

<PrivyProvider
  config={{
    appearance: {walletChainType: 'ethereum-and-solana'},
    externalWallets: {solana: {connectors: toSolanaWalletConnectors()}}
  }}
>
  {children}
</PrivyProvider>

toSolanaWalletConnectors accepts an optional shouldAutoConnect parameter (defaults to true) that silently reconnects previously-authorized Solana wallets on page load. Set it to false if connecting a wallet on page load triggers an unwanted connection prompt.

In your PrivyProvider, set the config.appearance.walletChainType to 'ethereum-only'.

import {PrivyProvider} from '@privy-io/react-auth';

<PrivyProvider
  config={{
    appearance: {walletChainType: 'ethereum-only'}
  }}
>
  {children}
</PrivyProvider>

In your PrivyProvider, set the config.appearance.walletChainType to 'solana-only'.

import {PrivyProvider} from '@privy-io/react-auth';
import {toSolanaWalletConnectors} from "@privy-io/react-auth/solana";

<PrivyProvider
  config={{
    appearance: {walletChainType: 'solana-only'},
    externalWallets: {
      solana: {connectors: toSolanaWalletConnectors()}
    }
  }}
>
  {children}
</PrivyProvider>
