# Using Particle Connect with Universal Accounts

> Sign and broadcast Universal Account transactions using a wallet connected via Particle Connect.

<Note>
  The following example uses **Particle Connect** instead of Particle Auth. It shows how to sign and send a Universal Account transaction using a connected wallet.
</Note>

When using **Particle Connect**, you can access the connected wallet through the `useWallets()` hook. The `primaryWallet` object exposes a `walletClient`, which acts as the signer.

This lets you sign the **Universal Account transaction** payload (rootHash) using any **wallet** connected via **Particle Connect**.

The following code snippet shows how to use the **Universal Accounts SDK** to sign a transaction with Particle Connect:

```tsx theme={null}
import { useWallets, useAccount } from "@particle-network/connectkit";
import { CHAIN_ID } from "@particle-network/universal-account-sdk";

// Get wallet from Particle Connect
const [primaryWallet] = useWallets();
const walletClient = primaryWallet?.getWalletClient();
const { address } = useAccount();

// Create a cross-chain transfer transaction via Universal Accounts
const transaction = await ua.createTransferTransaction({
  token: {
    chainId: CHAIN_ID.ARBITRUM_MAINNET_ONE,
    address: "0xFd086bC7CD5C481DCC9C85ebE478A1C0b69FCbb9", // USDT on Arbitrum
  },
  amount: "0.1", // Amount to send (human-readable string)
  receiver: receiverAddress, // Target address
});

// Sign the transaction's root hash using connected wallet
const signature = await walletClient?.signMessage({
  account: address as `0x${string}`,
  message: { raw: transaction.rootHash },
});

// Send the signed transaction via Universal Account SDK
const sendResult = await universalAccount.sendTransaction(
  transaction,
  signature
);

// Log UniversalX explorer link
console.log(
  "Explorer URL:",
  `https://universalx.app/activity/details?id=${sendResult.transactionId}`
);
```
