Rabby wallet extension

Rabby Wallet Extension — Get started with Rabby

In the competitive landscape of Web3, the Rabby Wallet extension has emerged as the premier choice for DeFi enthusiasts and power users in 2026. While many began their journey with older browser wallets, the transition to Rabby has accelerated due to its focus on two critical pillars: multi-chain agility and unrivaled transaction security.

As of 2026, Rabby supports over 140 EVM-compatible networks, positioning itself as the most versatile gateway for the modern decentralized ecosystem.

Why the Rabby Wallet Extension is a Game-Changer Most legacy wallets require users to manually switch networks every time they visit a new decentralized application (dApp). This friction often leads to "wrong network" errors and wasted gas fees. Rabby solves this through Automatic Network Detection. When you land on a dApp—whether it is on Arbitrum, Polygon, or a niche Layer 2—Rabby identifies the chain and adjusts itself instantly, allowing for a truly seamless multi-chain experience.

Key Features for 2026 Users: Transaction Simulation: Before you sign any transaction, Rabby runs a "pre-flight" simulation. It shows you exactly how your balance will change—e.g., "+100 USDC / -0.05 ETH"—so you never have to guess what a complex smart contract is actually doing.

Built-in Risk Engine: The extension scans every interaction for red flags. If you are about to interact with a blacklisted contract, a newly created address, or a site with a low trust score, Rabby issues a bold warning.

Portfolio Aggregator: View your entire net worth across all supported chains in a single, unified dashboard. You no longer need to check multiple explorers to find your "missing" tokens.

Advanced Security: More Than Just a Password Security in 2026 requires more than a simple lock screen. The Rabby Wallet extension includes advanced tools designed to thwart modern phishing and "wallet-drainer" attacks.

  1. The Revoke Manager Approvals are a necessary part of DeFi, but "unlimited approvals" left open can be dangerous. Rabby’s built-in Approval Manager allows you to see every contract that has permission to spend your tokens and revoke them with a single click. This feature alone has saved users millions by allowing them to close security loopholes after a trade.

  2. Hardware Wallet Synergy For high-value holders, Rabby offers the most robust hardware wallet integration on the market. It supports Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, and OneKey via USB or Bluetooth. This allows you to maintain the "cold storage" security of your private keys while enjoying the high-speed "hot wallet" interface of the Rabby extension.

  3. Gas Top-Up Feature Running out of native gas tokens on a secondary chain used to mean a tedious trip back to a centralized exchange. In 2026, Rabby’s Gas Top-Up allows you to pay for gas on one chain using assets from another, keeping your trades moving without interruption.

How to Get Started Setting up the Rabby Wallet extension is straightforward and takes less than five minutes:

Download: Install the official extension on Chrome, Brave, or Edge browsers.

Import or Create: You can create a new seed phrase or safely import your existing MetaMask seed phrase. Because Rabby is non-custodial, your keys never leave your device.

The "Disguise" Feature: If a dApp only shows a "Connect MetaMask" button, Rabby can "disguise" itself as MetaMask to ensure 100% compatibility with older websites.
