# Connect via Magic

*In this article, we will focus on how to connect to Affine **Mainnet Beta App** using Magic Link & Magic Wallet. After successfully completing these steps, you will be able to interact with **Affine Mainnet Beta App,** buy tokens (USDC and MATIC using Coinbase pay), and buy or sell baskets (USDC Earn and Affine Large).* 

You can skip to [Getting Started: Using the App](/getting-started/using-the-app.md) if you have already connected to the Affine Mainnet Beta App*.* 

### What are Magic Links?

Magic Links are a form of password-less login. Instead of entering your credentials (username & password), you are sent a unique token embedded URL to your email address. And you can click on that link to securely log in to your account. You can learn more here:  

### What are Magic Wallets? 

Magic provides web3 wallet management (auth & key management) through its Magic Links. Unlike MetaMask and other wallet services, you don't have to protect and manage your private keys with Magic Wallet actively. Magic automatically maintains it in the backend. And you can have the whole wallet experience (send and receive crypto, connect and interact with web3 dApps, etc.) without actively managing the wallet.
