+Any Ethereum wallet can be connected via Web3Modal: the App can chose which wallets to support and a multichain App can switch networks using the same wallet connection.
 
 SignIn requires switching to NEAR network to ensure that the wallet is compatible, if the user switches to other networks he will be prompted to switch back to NEAR before making a transaction.
 
 Sign out prompts to remove the FunctionCall access key if there is one, this action is non blocking and the user can sign out without executing the transaction.
 
-A NEAR dApp can connect to multiple Ethereum wallet addresses. If the user switches to a new address from the Ethereum wallet, the NEAR wallet will be disconnected so that it can reconnect with the signIn flow. If the dApp doesn't require a FunctionCall access key or the Ethereum wallet address already signed in, then the address connects automatically when changed.

 NEP-518 doesn't support multiple actions within the same transaction, so when multiple actions are requested, they are split into separate transactions and executed 1 by 1.
 
 NEP-518 rpc relayer uses a FunctionCall access key to execute transactions on behalf of the user by calling `rlp_execute`. If this key is not yet added, the wallet will be onboarded before the first transaction is made.
