+### Typing Redux-Connected Components
+
+Components that receive props directly from redux as a result of the `connect`
+function should use AppState for typing, rather than manually defining types.
+This makes refactoring reducers easier by catching mismatches or changes of
+types in components, and reduces the chance for inconsistency. It's also less
+code overall.
+
+```
+// Do this
+import { AppState } from 'reducers';
+
+interface Props {
+	wallet: AppState['wallet']['inst'];
+	rates: AppState['rates']['rates'];
+	// ...
+}
+
+// Not this
+import { IWallet } from 'libs/wallet';
+import { Rates } from 'libs/rates';
+
+interface Props {
+	wallet: IWallet;
+	rates: Rates;
+	// ...
+}
+```
+
+However, if you have a sub-component that takes in props from a connected
+component, it's OK to manually specify the type. Especially if you go from
+being type-or-null to guaranteeing the prop will be passed (because of a
+conditional render.)
