# Open DApp

How to use App Links to open a DApp in Nova Wallet!

App Links allow you to generate a hyperlink that when used will direct users to your DApp within Nova Wallet's DApp browser. The DApp must be listed in Nova Wallet's DApp Catalog or the App Link will not work. To add your DApp to Nova Wallet's DApp catalog follow this guide: [Add your DApp to Nova Wallet](/nova-wallet-wiki/misc/developer-documentation/add-your-dapp-to-nova-wallet.md)

## Clickable App Link

This is how you format App Links to open DApps. When a user clicks this link they will be directed to your specific DApp within Nova Wallet's DApp Browser.

App Links to open a specific DApp are formatted as such:

`https://app.novawallet.io/open/dapp?url={YOUR_DAPP_URL}`

Here is an example App Link which will open the Hydration app within Nova Wallet.

<https://app.novawallet.io/open/dapp?url=https://app.hydration.net/trade/swap>

## QR Code with App Link

Now that you have your App Link you can make a QR code containing its data, which when scanned with a user's mobile phone will open the DApp in their Nova Wallet. You can use a site such as [QRCode Monkey](https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/) to generate these QR codes easily.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/misc/developer-documentation/app-links/open-dapp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
