# Establishing Connection

In order to start interacting with the Rise Wallet, an app must first establish a connection. 

This connection request will prompt the user for permission to share their ***address***, indicating that they are willing to interact further. Once permission is established for the first time, the web application's domain will be ***whitelisted*** for future connection requests. 

Similarly, it is possible to terminate the connection both on the application and the user side.

\
The `window.rise` object exposes a `connect()` function that returns a Promise that resolves to `object` (defined below) when the user accepts the connection request, and resolves to `false` when the user declines the request or closes the pop-up.

```javascript
const response = await window.rise.connect()
console.log(respone)
//{
//  address: "0xe19578243c9744fb4b7675192ed1c489d64e2aab17bc37cc1446b6e5601d7ce8"
//  authKey: "0xe19578243c9744fb4b7675192ed1c489d64e2aab17bc37cc1446b6e5601d7ce8"
//  publicKey: "0x71c87ca87e89dd7d02d224465cc40a1aafb10a76a91a0857ddac29fe0c3cdf23"
//}
```

You can also listen for the `connect` event.

```javascript
window.rise.on("connect", () => console.log("connected!"));
```

Once connected to the Rise Wallet extension, `window.rise` object gets updated and exposes a few convenient properties like `isConnected`, `publicKey`, `address` and `authKey`

```javascript
console.log(window.rise.isConnected())
// true
console.log(window.rise.publicKey)
// '0x71c87ca87e89dd7d02d224465cc40a1aafb10a76a91a0857ddac29fe0c3cdf23'
console.log(window.rise.address)
// '0xe19578243c9744fb4b7675192ed1c489d64e2aab17bc37cc1446b6e5601d7ce8'
console.log(window.rise.authKey)
// '0xe19578243c9744fb4b7675192ed1c489d64e2aab17bc37cc1446b6e5601d7ce8'

```

### Disconnecting

Disconnecting is done by calling `disconnect()` function

```javascript
window.rise.disconnect()
```
