# Web3Auth v10 external wallet adapters migration guide

This guide focuses specifically on migrating external wallet adapter configurations from Web3Auth v8 to v10. This is a supplementary guide to the main [v8 to v10 migration guide](/embedded-wallets/sdk/js/migration-guides/modal/v8-to-v10/).

## Overview[​](#overview "Direct link to Overview")

In v8, external wallets required manual adapter configuration. V10 simplifies this by using MIPD (Multiple Injected provider Discovery) to automatically detect and provide access to external wallets without manual setup.

## Migration steps[​](#migration-steps "Direct link to Migration steps")

### External wallet adapter migration[​](#external-wallet-adapter-migration "Direct link to External wallet adapter migration")

```
// Individual wallet adapters
import { MetamaskAdapter } from '@web3auth/metamask-adapter'
import { PhantomAdapter } from '@web3auth/phantom-adapter'
import { SolflareAdapter } from '@web3auth/solflare-adapter'

// Default adapter functions
import { getDefaultExternalAdapters, getInjectedAdapters } from '@web3auth/default-evm-adapter'

// Manual adapter configuration
const metamaskAdapter = new MetamaskAdapter()
const phantomAdapter = new PhantomAdapter()
web3auth.configureAdapter(metamaskAdapter)
web3auth.configureAdapter(phantomAdapter)

// Or using helper functions
const adapters = await getDefaultExternalAdapters({ options: web3AuthOptions })
adapters.forEach(adapter => {
  web3auth.configureAdapter(adapter)
})

await web3auth.initModal()

// All external wallets are automatically detected via MIPD
// No manual adapter configuration needed
await web3auth.init()

```

## Key changes[​](#key-changes "Direct link to Key changes")

- **Package Removal:** Remove all external wallet adapter packages
- **MIPD Integration:** External wallets are automatically detected using MIPD (Multiple Injected provider Discovery)
- **No Configuration:** No need to manually configure or register external adapters
- **WalletConnect Support:** WalletConnect-compatible wallets are automatically available

## Package removal[​](#package-removal "Direct link to Package removal")

Remove these deprecated packages from your project:

- npm
- Yarn
- pnpm
- Bun

```
# Remove all external wallet adapter packages
npm uninstall @web3auth/metamask-adapter @web3auth/phantom-adapter @web3auth/solflare-adapter @web3auth/slope-adapter @web3auth/default-evm-adapter @web3auth/default-solana-adapter

```

```
# Remove all external wallet adapter packages
yarn remove @web3auth/metamask-adapter @web3auth/phantom-adapter @web3auth/solflare-adapter @web3auth/slope-adapter @web3auth/default-evm-adapter @web3auth/default-solana-adapter

```

```
# Remove all external wallet adapter packages
pnpm remove @web3auth/metamask-adapter @web3auth/phantom-adapter @web3auth/solflare-adapter @web3auth/slope-adapter @web3auth/default-evm-adapter @web3auth/default-solana-adapter

```

```
# Remove all external wallet adapter packages
bun remove @web3auth/metamask-adapter @web3auth/phantom-adapter @web3auth/solflare-adapter @web3auth/slope-adapter @web3auth/default-evm-adapter @web3auth/default-solana-adapter

```

## How it works in v10[​](#how-it-works-in-v10 "Direct link to How it works in v10")

V10 uses MIPD (Multiple Injected provider Discovery) to automatically detect injected wallets in the browser. When users attempt to connect, they'll see:

1. **Installed wallets:** Any injected wallets found in the browser
2. **WalletConnect options:** Popular wallets available via WalletConnect
3. **Install prompts:** Options to install wallets if none are found

This provides a better user experience with no configuration required from developers.
