Your Hana account is now connected to ICON & Stellar.
⚠️ Still can't connect? If your wallet was originally migrated to Hana and not created by your Hana account then you may not be able to generate addresses for certain chains. If this issue effects you, we suggest you create a new wallet. You can find guidance on this process here.
