## Supported Networks and Wallets

Kima offers broad support for multiple blockchain networks, allowing you to connect using a variety of wallets compatible with WalletConnect. You are not limited to specific wallets; instead, you can choose from options such as:

* EVM-compatible blockchains: To provide liquidity on any EVM-compatible blockchain (Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB, etc.) use any EVM-compatible wallet such as MetaMask.
* Solana: To provide liquidity on Solana, use Solflare, Phantom, or any other Solana-compatible wallet.
* Tron: We have provided instructions for TronLink.
* Bitcoin: We have provided instructions for XVerse.

Below are the setup instructions for each wallet option:

### EVM-compatible blockchains

For EVM-compatible blockchains, such as Ethereum, Polygon, or Optimism, you may use a wallet such as MetaMask.
