# IDO Guide for Participants

## Advance Preparations

In case you're using a PC or laptop, we recommend you to use Chrome web browser with MetaMask wallet installed on it as an extension program. If your frequently-used wallet is in your mobile phone and it supports WalletConnect, you can use the wallet by connecting it through the 'WalletConnect' option on TaalSwap.

WalletConnect-supporting wallets: MetaMask, Trust, [Talken](https://talken.io), etc.
