Set up SquadsX to start using your Squad with external Solana apps. The process takes a few minutes and requires an active Pro subscription.

​
Install and set up SquadsX

1

Subscribe to Pro

SquadsX requires a Pro plan. If you have not subscribed yet, see pricing for details.
2

Install the extension

Install the SquadsX extension from the Chrome Web Store. If the extension is missing or out of date when you start the setup, Squads shows a Get SquadsX or Update SquadsX button that opens the store.
3

Open the SquadsX setup

Navigate to Members in the sidebar. Under Modules, select Add SquadsX, then Start. The connected wallet must be a member of your Squad with the Proposer permission, because it submits the transaction that adds the SquadsX key. It also needs at least 0.01 SOL.
4

Choose your SquadsX key

The SquadsX extension opens. If this is your first time, create a password and select Create & continue. SquadsX generates your first key, and you will use this password to unlock the extension. If you already use SquadsX, unlock the extension, choose the key to register, and select Confirm.
5

Authorize the key

Back in the Squads app, review the SquadsX key and select Sign & submit. Your wallet signs first, then the SquadsX extension counter-signs.
6

Approve the SquadsX key

Squads creates a proposal to add the SquadsX key as a member of your Squad with Proposer permission only. Your existing members must approve and execute it from the Transactions page. Until then, the SquadsX card under Modules shows Pending. Once the proposal executes, SquadsX is ready to use.
The SquadsX key has Proposer permission by default. It can create proposals inside your Squad but cannot approve or execute them. This keeps your multisig security intact.

​
Connect to a Solana app

Once SquadsX is set up, you can connect your Squad to any compatible Solana app.
1

Navigate to the app

Open a Solana app you want to interact with. See the compatible apps list for tested options.
2

Connect SquadsX

Select Connect Wallet in the app and choose SquadsX from the wallet list.
3

Take an action

Perform the action you want (swap, deposit, create an order, etc.). When the app prompts you to sign, approve the action in the SquadsX popup.
4

Approve in your Squad

The action appears as a proposal in your Squad’s Transactions page. Members review, approve, and execute the proposal based on your threshold.
Once the proposal executes, the action takes effect in the Solana app.

​
Fee configuration

If Fee Relayer is enabled for your Squad, SquadsX proposal fees are paid from your Squad’s SOL balance (up to the spending limit set for Fee Relayer). If Fee Relayer is turned off, the SquadsX key needs its own SOL to submit proposals. Send a small amount of SOL to the SquadsX public key address to cover fees.

​
Remove SquadsX

To remove SquadsX from your Squad, navigate to Members and select Remove SquadsX key on the SquadsX card under Modules. This creates a proposal to remove the key, which your members approve and execute like any other member removal.
Can I use SquadsX with multiple Squads?Yes. Switch between Squads from within the SquadsX extension. Only one Squad is active at a time, and a connected app keeps the address it connected with, so reconnect the app after you switch.Do I need to keep the SquadsX extension open while proposals are being approved?No. Once the transaction appears on your Squad’s Transactions page, approval and execution happen in the Squads app. You can close the extension and the Solana app.What permissions does the SquadsX key have?Proposer only. It can create proposals but cannot approve, reject, or execute them. Other Squad members handle approval through the Squads app.
