Multiple Wallet Extensions: Verify Which Provider Answered
When several wallet extensions are installed, a website may not interact with the one you expected. Identify the provider that actually responded before accepting an account selection or diagnosing a missing balance.
Understand the selection problem
EIP-6963 describes conflicts when multiple extensions compete to expose a provider through window.ethereum and defines an alternative discovery mechanism. Supporting that standard depends on the wallet and application. A page displaying one wallet name does not prove every installed extension participates in a reliable chooser. This guide does not claim RunixCoin implements EIP-6963 or validate its browser-provider selection behavior.
Compare the responding interface
Check which installed wallet opened the prompt, then compare its selected public account and network with your intended context. A generic “Connect wallet” button may conceal that choice until the provider responds. If the wrong wallet answers, decline the request and inspect the application and wallet’s current documented selection controls. Do not approve account access merely to see whether a later signing screen reaches the expected extension.
Avoid destructive or secret-sharing shortcuts
Reimporting a recovery phrase into multiple extensions does not explain which provider a site selected and increases the number of places holding sensitive material. Likewise, deleting an extension can remove local access state before recovery readiness is known. Begin with public identity checks and non-destructive observations. Provider names, icons and metadata can be imitated, so compare the installed extension’s independently verified identity rather than trusting branding returned by a page.
Write a report that names the context
A useful report states the browser, installed wallet families, which wallet answered, the intended public account and the selected chain. Include only public identity details necessary for diagnosis; omit wallet exports, signed payloads and full browser profiles. Separate a provider-selection problem from an RPC failure or quote error. RunixCoin’s public form cannot execute a swap, and this page changes no provider integration. The result of the checklist is a clearer observation, not a signing or execution test.
