Source-based practical guide

Integrate Petra Wallet connection into an Aptos dApp

Prepare an Aptos dApp to connect with Petra Wallet and support wallet interactions.

Before you start

  • Petra Wallet browser extension
  • An Aptos dApp

Steps

  1. Check whether the Petra browser extension is available.

  2. Connect the user’s Petra wallet to the dApp.

  3. Request the user to sign a message or sign and optionally send a transaction.

  4. Handle wallet event updates and identify error messages.

Expected outcome

The dApp can connect to Petra and use documented signing, optional transaction, event-update, and error-handling flows.

Guide limitations

  • These steps describe dApp integration, not installing or building the Petra extension.
  • The documentation overview does not provide the implementation details for each integration step.
