🌐 Connection issues

If none of your accounts appear in the Ctrl selection pop-up :

Make sure you have only selected chains from the decentralized application interface that are likely to be managed by the type of accounts you manage with your Ctrl extension.

For example, you can't select the Ethereum blockchain on a decentralized application if you only have a Bitcoin hardware wallet account
