Properties

provider (optional)

• Type: StacksProvider
• Default: Previously selected provider, or null

The wallet provider to use for the request. If none is provided, the wallet selection modal is displayed to the user (unless a wallet was previously selected and forceWalletSelect is false).

import { request } from '@stacks/connect';

const myProvider = window.LeatherProvider;

await request(
  { provider: myProvider },
  'stx_getAddresses',
);

---

forceWalletSelect (optional)

• Type: boolean
• Default: false

When true, the wallet selection modal is always shown, even if a wallet was previously selected. This is useful when you want to allow the user to switch wallets.

import { request } from '@stacks/connect';

await request(
  { forceWalletSelect: true },
  'stx_getAddresses',
);

---

persistWalletSelect (optional)

• Type: boolean
• Default: true

When true, the wallet selected by the user is remembered for subsequent requests. The selected provider ID is stored so future calls to request automatically use the same wallet without prompting again.

---

enableOverrides (optional)

• Type: boolean
• Default: true

When true, request automatically rewrites method names and parameter formats to normalize behavior across different wallet providers (e.g. Xverse, Leather, Fordefi). This helps ensure consistent behavior regardless of which wallet the user selects.

Examples of overrides:

• Converting getAddresses to wallet_connect for Xverse-like wallets.
• Normalizing amount types between number and string depending on the wallet.
• Transforming signPsbt input formats to match each wallet's expected schema.
• Normalizing response fields like txId vs txid and hex vs psbt.

Set to false if you are handling provider-specific formatting yourself.

---

enableLocalStorage (optional)

• Type: boolean
• Default: true

When true, address results from getAddresses calls are automatically cached in local storage. This enables the isConnected and getLocalStorage functions to work.

---

defaultProviders (optional)

• Type: WbipProvider[]
• Default: DEFAULT_PROVIDERS

The list of wallet providers to display in the wallet selection modal. By default, this includes Leather, Xverse, Asigna, and Fordefi.

import { request } from '@stacks/connect';

await request(
  {
    defaultProviders: [
      {
        id: 'MyCustomWallet',
        name: 'My Wallet',
        icon: 'https://example.com/icon.svg',
        webUrl: 'https://example.com',
      },
    ],
  },
  'stx_getAddresses',
);

---

approvedProviderIds (optional)

• Type: string[]
• Default: undefined (all providers shown)

A whitelist of provider IDs to show in the wallet selection modal. If provided, only providers whose id matches one of the entries in this array will be displayed. Both default and installed providers are filtered.

import { request } from '@stacks/connect';

await request(
  {
    approvedProviderIds: ['LeatherProvider', 'XverseProviders.BitcoinProvider'],
  },
  'stx_getAddresses',
);

Notes

If using walletConnect alongside approvedProviderIds, make sure to include "WalletConnectProvider" in the array.

---

walletConnect (optional)

• Type: Partial<Pick<UniversalConnectorConfig, 'metadata' | 'networks'>> & Omit<UniversalConnectorConfig, 'metadata' | 'networks'>

Configuration for WalletConnect. If provided, the WalletConnect provider is automatically initialized and added to the wallet selection modal.

• projectId is required.
• metadata and networks are optional and will use default values if not provided.

import { request, WalletConnect } from '@stacks/connect';

await request(
  {
    walletConnect: {
      projectId: 'your-project-id',
      networks: [WalletConnect.Networks.Stacks],
    },
  },
  'stx_getAddresses',
);

Notes

If using walletConnect alongside approvedProviderIds, include "WalletConnectProvider" in the approvedProviderIds array so the WalletConnect option is visible in the modal.
