Updating Flow Wallet to connect with EVM apps

All accounts created with Flow Wallet after the Crescendo upgrade automatically work with EVM apps. Previous accounts need to upgrade Flow Wallet accounts to work with EVM apps. Upgrading your Flow Wallet account for EVM on Flow is simple. It takes about 30 seconds. 

1 — Open the Flow Wallet extension

Open your Flow Wallet extension. It's typically located in the top right corner of your internet browser.

2 — Open the menu 

Open the menu in the top left corner of your Flow Wallet; it’s represented by three horizontal lines. 

3 — Enable the path to EVM on Flow

4 — Enable the transaction 

Once you press "Enable", it will take approximately ~10 seconds for the transaction to finish

5 — See your new EVM account

You now have an EVM account, also known as a COA wallet. You can see it here as "Peach."

6 — Access your new EVM account

To access your new account and the assets in it, simply click the icon for it. Your address for this EVM wallet is at the top—in this example, it's: 0x0000…dc84ffce 

That’s it! You can now access EVM apps directly with your Flow Wallet.
