# Connect a hosted wallet

Setting up BitBanana with a hosted wallet is simple.\
You'll just need a connection URI or a QR code that contains one.\
\
The connection URI must be in one of these two formats:

* [LndHub URI](https://docs.bitbanana.app/setup/connect-a-hosted-wallet/lndhub-uri)
* [Nostr Wallet Connect URI](https://docs.bitbanana.app/setup/connect-a-hosted-wallet/nostr-wallet-connect-uri)

{% hint style="danger" %}
These connection URIs contain all information needed to access the funds of your wallet.\
Keep it confidential and do not save or share it anywhere.
{% endhint %}

## Connect

## Detailed connection instructions

If you haven’t received a connection string and need to obtain one yourself, the process will depend on your specific setup.\
