# 10.3 Connect the Wallet and complete the KYC

The connection process begins by selecting the wallet integration option, typically MetaMask. Upon selection, a secure prompt appears requesting permission to connect the wallet to the platform.

Once approved, the platform establishes a connection and retrieves:

* the wallet address
* available FreCx balance
* current staking status

**KYC** is essential because all staking operations are executed as blockchain transactions signed by the user’s wallet.

## 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.frequencychain.org/10.-staking-rewards-and-economic-participation/10.3-connect-the-wallet-and-complete-the-kyc.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.
