# Managing wallets

With Based Bot, you can have multiples wallets. This sections explains how to manage your wallets.

On your bot menu click on `💳 Wallet` or type `/wallet` to access the wallets section.

## ➕ How to add a New Wallet

By default, Based Bot provides you with one wallet. If you'd like to add a new one, simply click on the slot where you want to add the wallet (e.g., **Wallet 3** in the example below):

<figure><img src="https://3562303282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FE5bUac2iI3Ns1M4sRzbQ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-03b52488b7089488a82d1e60ca4b127596097bad%2Fimage%20(11).png?alt=media" alt="" width="360"><figcaption><p>Wallets manager interface (/wallet)</p></figcaption></figure>

If no wallet currently exists in that slot, you'll see options to either:

* **Create a new wallet** – Based Bot will generate a new wallet for you.
* **Import a wallet** – Use this option to import your own wallet by entering its private key.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Importing over an existing wallet:** If you import a wallet into a slot that already has one, the old wallet will be replaced. The bot will display the old wallet's private key right after the import so you can back it up. Make sure to save it before closing the message — once dismissed, the private key cannot be recovered.
{% endhint %}

## ✨ Set it as preferred Wallet

If you want this new wallet to be used for your trades, you'll need to set it as your **preferred wallet**.

To do that:

1. Click on **Settings**, or type `/settings` in the chat.
2. Look for the **Preferred Wallet** section.
3. Select your desired wallet (e.g., W3).

<figure><img src="https://3562303282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FE5bUac2iI3Ns1M4sRzbQ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-90de2d774ced4cf776ec6c2d885fa7ae0546670a%2Fimage%20(10).png?alt=media" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>Settings menu (/settings)</p></figcaption></figure>

In the screenshot, **W3** is marked as the preferred wallet, which means it will be used by default for your next trade.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Never share your private key with anyone**. No one should ever ask you for this information, including the BasedBot or Apedotstore teams. So, be careful and stay vigilant.
{% endhint %}

## 🏷️ Name your wallets (labels)

You can give each wallet a custom name so it's easier to identify than W1, W2, W3…

To set one:

1. Open `💳 Wallet` (or type `/wallet`) and select the wallet you want to name.
2. Click the **🏷️ Label** button and reply with the name you want.
3. Once a label is set, the same button shows your label (click it again to rename), and the **❌** button next to it removes it.

Your label replaces the `W1` / `W2` text in the wallet bar buttons everywhere in the bot when the **🏷️ Wallet bar labels** toggle in the wallet menu is **ON** (it is by default).

{% hint style="info" %}
Keep labels short — Telegram buttons have limited width, longer labels get truncated.
{% endhint %}

## 📦 Archive / Unarchive a wallet

Archiving parks a wallet: trading and transfers on it are blocked, and its pending orders and automations (TP/SL, limit orders, DCA, copytrading, snipers, X copy) are cancelled, they do not come back on their own. Its funds and its keys stay exactly where they are. Unarchiving lifts the block instantly; recreate the automations you still want.

To archive:

1. Open `💳 Wallet` (or type `/wallet`) and select the wallet you want to archive.
2. Click **📦 Archive**.

To bring it back, open the same wallet and click **👁 Unarchive**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Archiving your **Preferred wallet** moves the role: if you have other Preferred wallets it simply leaves the list; if it was your only one, your next wallet with both EVM and Solana on becomes your Preferred wallet, and its X alerts move there. The confirmation screen tells you which wallet takes over before you confirm.

Archiving is refused on your only active wallet (create a new wallet first), on your only active wallet of a chain (enable that chain on another wallet, or create a new wallet), and on your only Preferred wallet when no other wallet has both EVM and Solana on. You always need at least one active wallet.
