Use Hermit

Explore and web apps

Find apps, open any site, search the web, and use web apps with your Hermit wallet.

Explore is a directory of crypto apps with a browser built in. It’s in the sidebar on a Mac and in the menu on iPhone.

Find an app

The tabs are New, Trending and All. Trending is the biggest growth in TVL over the last 7 days, from DefiLlama. All has category chips and the full list.

The search box at the top does three things:

Type an app’s name, like aave or jupiter, and it filters the list. A small typo still finds it, and looser matches show under “Did you mean”.
Type an address, like uniswap.org, and you get Open and Add to Your sites.
Anything else, and press Return (or tap “Search the web for…”). That opens a DuckDuckGo search in Hermit’s browser.

Your sites at the top holds the sites you added, newest first. Tap one to open it. Long-press or right-click to remove it.

Explore on a Mac, New tab: a grid of apps such as Lighter, trade.xyz, Predict.fun, Jupiter Lend, Plasma and Ondo, each with its category, TVL and 7-day change, and an Open button.

Hermit’s browser

Open shows the app inside Hermit. The bar at the top always shows the site’s real host with a lock, so you know where you are. The menu (•••) has Add to Your sites, Open in Safari, Copy link and Connected sites.

Inside the browser, web apps find a wallet called Hermit. EVM apps see it through the usual Ethereum provider (EIP-1193, announced with EIP-6963), and Solana apps see it as a Wallet Standard wallet. It only appears on https pages, never inside embedded frames.

Connect and use a web app

Open the app and tap its own Connect button. Pick Hermit from its wallet list.
Hermit shows “Connect to app.example.com” with the host and anything worth a warning. Connecting can’t move funds.
Approve. A green dot next to the address shows you’re connected, and the menu shows the network.
Every signature or transaction the app asks for opens Hermit’s review: “Transaction from …” or “Signature request from …”, with what it does in plain words. Approve each one with Face ID (Touch ID on a Mac), or reject it.

Hermit refuses some requests outright and simulates transactions before you see them. Web apps lists every rule.

Disconnect

In the browser, open the menu and tap Disconnect this site. To see every site at once, open Settings, then Sites. Each one shows the wallet it’s connected to, with Disconnect, and there’s Disconnect all.

Removing a wallet also disconnects its sites.

Ask about an app

Long-press or right-click an app for Ask Hermit about Aave, which starts a chat about it. With no match in search, Ask Hermit asks it to find apps for what you typed.
