# Connect Backpack

Connect a Solana account from Backpack to SONIC AI Works and validate every signing request.

Backpack provides a self-custodial wallet for Solana and other supported networks. Make sure the active account/network is the Solana account you intend to use with SONIC.

## Connect from SONIC

1. Install/open Backpack from the official Backpack website.
2. Complete wallet setup and unlock the wallet.
3. Select the intended **Solana** account.
4. Open SONIC and choose **Connect Wallet**.
5. Select **Backpack**.
6. Review the connection prompt in Backpack.
7. Approve the request only when it matches the SONIC application you initiated.
8. Return to SONIC and verify the public wallet address/account.

## Connection vs transaction approval

Backpack's connection flow establishes permission for the app to identify the connected public key/session. A later transaction request still requires wallet approval. Do not treat an active connection as permission for asset movement.

## Security checks

Before signing, confirm Solana network context, selected account, token/asset, amount, destination/program, fees, and intent. Reject any request you did not initiate.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sonic-ai-works.gitbook.io/sonic-networks-docs/help-center/connect-a-solana-wallet/connect-backpack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
