# Connect to Swipe

To start staking your `SXP` tokens, you will need to connect your Ledger hardware wallet via Metamask  to the DeFi Application. With the same browser that you have your Metamask (ie: Chrome or Brave) please navigate to [https://app.swipe.org ](<https://app.swipe.org >)and follow the instructions below.

1. Once the Decentralized Finance Application loads on your web browser, you will see a `Connect Wallet` button on the right hand side of the browser which will enable you to connect your Metamask Wallet as shown below:

4\. Next, you will need to go back to your Ledger hardware wallet and physically enable Contracts by navigating to the `Ethereum` app, then press the right directional button to `Settings` . You will see the first option being `Contract data` which you will notice the last line says `NOT Allowed` .  Once you are here, press both directional buttons at the same time to change the status. If done successfully you will now notice that the `NOT Allowed` text has changed to `Allowed`. Now press the right directional button to to the `<- Back` option and press both keys again. You should now see the message `Application is ready` on your Ledger hardware wallet device.&#x20;
