# Rupi Connect Rupi Connect is the identity and data linkage layer. It handles two connection types that together give Rupi the off-chain and on-chain data required for deterministic verification. #### Wallet connection Uses Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) to verify that the user controls a given wallet address. No private keys are ever transmitted. The user signs a nonce with their wallet. Rupi verifies the signature and associates the address with the user session. This provides on-chain data access. #### Platform connection Uses OAuth 2.0 to connect the user's account on the integrating platform — or on a supported third-party data source. This connection type covers the full range of stablecoin financial platforms: * Payroll platforms (Deel, Rise, Bitwage): employment records, payment schedules, disbursement history * Neobanks and digital wallets (DolarApp, Belo): account transaction history, balance records, deposit patterns * Crypto exchanges (Binance, Coinbase, Bitso): account history, fiat-to-crypto conversion records, withdrawal patterns * Payment platforms: recurring transfer records, counterparty data, settlement history The integrating platform itself is typically the primary data source. When a neobank integrates Rupi, it passes its own user's account data directly via API. The OAuth flow is used for supplementary data sources — for example, a user who also receives payroll via Deel in addition to their neobank account activity. Once both connections exist, Rupi can begin the verification pipeline. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
