# Delegate.xyz (Hot Wallet)

Hubz supports wallet delegation via **delegate.xyz** on supported EVM chains. This allows users to verify eligibility using tokens stored in secure vault wallets without directly connecting those wallets to Hubz.

Delegation is handled automatically and does not require additional configuration inside Hubz.

### What You See in Hubz

After connecting your everyday wallet:

* A label such as **“2 wallet(s) from delegate.xyz”** appears beneath the connected wallet.
* The number represents vault wallets linked through delegation.
* Vault wallets cannot be manually added or removed within Hubz.

To remove a vault wallet, revoke the delegation directly on [delegate.xyz](https://delegate.xyz).

***

### Synchronisation Behaviour

Hubz stays aligned with your delegation settings:

1. **On wallet connection** — delegations are checked immediately.
2. **Periodic refresh (every 6 hours)** — Hubz rechecks all connected wallets to detect new or revoked delegations.

***

### Supported Chains

Delegate is supported on the following EVM networks:

* **Ethereum**
* **Base**
* **BNB Smart Chain**
* **Avalanche**
* **Polygon**
* **Fantom**
* **Arbitrum**
* **Optimism**
* **ApeChain**

> Delegation is only available on EVM chains. TON and Solana are not supported.

***

### Limitations

* Only **full wallet delegation** is supported. Token-specific or contract-specific delegations are not recognised.
* Vault wallets are not individually listed — only the total count is displayed.
* Vault wallets cannot be unlinked individually within Hubz.
* Disconnecting the everyday wallet removes all linked vault wallets automatically.

***

### Why This Should Be a Separate Page

Because this is:

* Advanced behaviour
* EVM-specific
* Not required for standard setup
* Potentially confusing if mixed with onboarding
