EIP-6963 Multi-Wallet Discovery
EIP-6963 defines a standard for multiple wallet providers to coexist on a page without conflicting over window.ethereum.
Why it matters
Modern dApps (using wagmi, RainbowKit, ConnectKit) no longer rely solely on window.ethereum. Instead, they listen for wallet announcements via DOM events. Without EIP-6963, the relayer would be invisible to these dApps.
Announcement flow
Provider info
const info = {
uuid: '6cfb5e8b-2b9a-4d9f-b8e1-1a2b3c4d5e6f',
name: 'Tezos X Relayer',
rdns: 'com.tezosx.relayer',
icon: 'data:image/svg+xml;base64,...', // tezos-logo.svg
};
Compatibility
| dApp stack | Detection method | Works |
|---|---|---|
| wagmi v2 + RainbowKit | EIP-6963 | ✅ |
| wagmi v1 | window.ethereum | ✅ |
| Privy | EIP-6963 | ⚠️ Detected — but the one Privy-based dApp tested (Hanji) did not complete the connection. See dApp Compatibility. |
Raw window.ethereum | Direct access | ✅ |
