Vertex ® is a high-performance, on-chain orderbook DEX (not a custodial bank). "Vertex ® Wallet" interactions are always done by connecting your self-custody wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect-compatible mobile wallets, or hardware wallets) to the official Vertex ® front end. This guide explains how to connect, common login failures (Error Connecting / Login not working), account recovery considerations and practical fixes. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

How Vertex ® Login works
"Vertex ® Login" is the wallet-connection flow: you open app.vertexprotocol.com, click Connect Wallet, choose your wallet, and approve a signature. No usernames/passwords are stored by Vertex ®—trades are signed locally and submitted on-chain. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Troubleshooting — login not working / Error Connecting
- Confirm URL: only use the official app URL (app.vertexprotocol.com).
- Unlock your wallet: open MetaMask/your extension or mobile wallet before connecting.
- Network & chain: ensure you’re on the network Vertex ® uses (Arbitrum / supported L2) and have native gas funds.
- Disable conflicts: turn off other wallet extensions and ad blockers that may block popups.
- Try WalletConnect: use a mobile wallet QR flow if the extension fails; re-initiate if it times out.
If many users are affected, check official channels for outages or maintenance. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Account recovery & 2FA
Vertex ® is non-custodial: recovery depends entirely on your wallet seed phrase or hardware key. There is no central "Vertex ® 2FA reset" for on-chain wallets. If you used a custodial provider to fund your Vertex ® account, follow that provider’s account-recovery procedures. Never share seed phrases or private keys. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
App not working / Can't verify wallet / Transaction declined
- Declined transactions: check approvals, allowance and native token for gas.
- Can't verify wallet: reconnect, check address, and ensure no network mismatches.
- Front-end glitches: try a different browser, clear cache, or use incognito mode.
