# Connect Wallet

The Operator Portal uses cryptowallets to manage user accounts. However, please note that the account data in the Operator Portal is entirely separate from the data in the Owner Portal.

To get started:

1. Go to <https://operator.aethir.com/>. Click **Connect Wallet**

2. Sign in with the wallet you will use to manage your Checker Node Clients. This wallet does not need to contain any Checker NFTs.

3. Once your wallet is connected, you will either be prompted to add burner wallets or, if burner wallets have already been added, be directed to the dashboard page.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://docs.aethir.com/checker-guide/operator-portal/connect-wallet.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.
