@MJ-RWA has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 1st wave.

I’d like to work on this issue. I have experience implementing persistent wallet connections in React/Web3 apps, including auto-reconnect on refresh, session rehydration, and proper disconnect handling.

I can persist the last connected wallet, restore it on app load, handle invalid sessions gracefully, and reflect the correct connection state in the UI following the repo’s canonical designs. I can complete this within the estimated 0.25–0.5 day timeframe.

Please assign this issue to me so I can get started.

GM maintainer, I would love to implement wallet connection persistence by storing the last-used connector in localStorage, rehydrating it on app load, and falling back gracefully when the session is invalid—so users aren’t re-prompted unless needed.

Hi team, I’d like to work on this issue.

I’m a Frontend Developer who thrives at the intersection of UI polish + product usability, and I’ve shipped responsive components/pages using Next.js/React + Tailwind (including interactions, animations, and pixel-accurate Figma builds).

What I’ll deliver

Wallet connection persistence implemented to match the design/spec

Responsive behavior (mobile + desktop), no layout breakage

Hover/focus states + accessible semantics

Clean, reusable components and consistent styling

Approach

Review the design/spec and existing code patterns

Build the UI + interactions

QA on multiple breakpoints + open a PR with screenshots/video

If assigned, I’ll start immediately and share progress updates in the PR.

[DIFoundation]

@DIFoundation has applied to work on this issue as part of the Stellar Wave Program's 1st wave.

I’d like to work on this issue because I’ve implemented wallet connection persistence and auto-reconnect flows in Web3 frontends, ensuring a smooth UX across refreshes and sessions. With my experience handling localStorage-based rehydration, connector state management, and connected UI headers, I can deliver a clean, reliable solution that matches the existing design system.

Hello maintainers 👋

I’ve reviewed this issue and the relevant parts of the codebase. I’m a junior full-stack developer with hands-on experience contributing to real-world open source projects across both Web2 and Web3 contexts. My work includes JavaScript/TypeScript-based stacks, React on the frontend, Node.js on the backend, as well as contributing to blockchain-related repositories, including smart contract logic and protocol-level features.

I’m comfortable reading and understanding existing codebases, reasoning about on-chain and off-chain interactions, and delivering clean, focused implementations aligned with the project’s conventions. I’m used to working through GitHub workflows, iterating based on feedback, and prioritizing maintainability and clarity.

This issue aligns well with my experience, and I believe I can provide a solid and reliable solution. If it’s still available, I’d be happy to take it.

@dDevAhmed I noticed no project has been scaffold, and I want to start issue assigned to me now. Should I scaffold a new next project or already did?
