# Choose your signing path

> Decide between own-origin and shared-origin, and configure the connection accordingly.

You know at build time which signing path your app uses. This recipe helps you pick and wire it.
For the underlying model, see [Signing paths](/concepts/signing-paths).

## Do you own the wallet's domain?

Ask one question: **is the passkey's `rpId` a domain you control and can serve
`.well-known` files from?**

* **Yes, use own-origin.** Set `rpId`. Signing runs in your app, in code. This is the path for
  wallet apps and any app that owns its wallet UX.
* **No, use shared-origin.** Set `authOrigin`, pointing at the operator origin that hosts the
  wallet. Signing happens in a popup or in-app browser tab at that origin; your app receives only
  the result.

<Info>
  `rpId` and `authOrigin` are mutually exclusive. Set exactly one.

## Own-origin

```ts theme={null}
import { createOwnOriginConnection } from "@avokjs/core";

const connection = createOwnOriginConnection({ rpId: "example.com" });
```

On React Native, also pass the injected `passkey` module:

```ts theme={null}
import { Passkey } from "react-native-passkey";
import { createOwnOriginConnection } from "@avokjs/react-native";

const connection = createOwnOriginConnection({ rpId: "example.com", passkey: Passkey });
```

## Shared-origin

```ts theme={null}
import { createSharedOriginConnection } from "@avokjs/core";

const connection = await createSharedOriginConnection({ authOrigin: "https://wallet.example.com" });
```

On React Native, use `createNativeSharedOrigin` over an in-app browser tab. See [React Native
setup](/guides/react-native-setup).

Once you have a connection, pass it to `createAvokClient`. See [Create your first
wallet](/get-started/first-wallet).
