{% endtabs %}

### Click on Add Guardian.

If your Guardian has a Loopring Smart Wallet the process is fairly simple. You can enter in the Ethereum wallet address or ENS of the person and tap Add.<br>

You will be asked to confirm and pay a gas fee.The Guardian Loopring Wallet will receive a notification on their Loopring Smart Wallet application to accept, once accepted the Guardian addition process is complete. Note that it may take up to a few days to add Guardians depending on the number of Guardians you already have.<br>

#### If your Guardian doesn’t have a Loopring Smart Wallet and instead has an EOA wallet like Metamask, there is a separate process.

You will then need the owner of the Guardian Ethereum address (whether this is another wallet address you own or the address of a friend/family member) to visit <https://guardian.loopring.io> and connect this wallet/address.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note, this site is for connecting your Guardian Wallet(s), <mark style="color:red;">**NOT**</mark> your own Loopring Smart Wallet.

{% hint style="info" %}
In the case of an action being required on your new Loopring Wallet (lock, recovery, etc.), your guardians will also need to go to this same site ([https://guardian.loopring.io/](https://guardian.loopring.io)) in order to sign a message to confirm it is you who is requesting this action to complete it.
