# Getting and Linking a Wallet
Aria Protocol can be used with any WalletConnect compatible wallet. If you don't have a wallet yet, we recommend using MetaMask. MetaMask has [instructions on their website](https://support.metamask.io/start/getting-started-with-metamask/) to help you set up your own wallet.
If you participated in the Aria Premiere Launch via StakeStone, you MUST connect the same wallet you used to deposit USDC in order to claim your tokens! If the wallet you used is not WalletConnect-compatible, then you may link it to a compatible wallet, through a process such as [this one](https://support.metamask.io/start/how-to-import-an-account/).
## Linking the Wallet
In the top right corner, there is a button that says **Connect Wallet**. Upon pressing it, you will be greeted with a screen like this:
In our example, since we are using MetaMask, we will click on MetaMask, and be greeted with a screen prompting for you to connect your wallet.

Simply press connect and approve the connection, then you will have a wallet connected to Aria!
