# Set up your wallet

Your trading wallet lives inside the bot. Keys are encrypted — only you control it through Telegram.

## Import or generate

Open **🏦 Wallets** or send `/wallet`.

| Option       | Best for                                       |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Import**   | You already have a Solana private key (base58) |
| **Generate** | New wallet — bot creates a keypair for you     |

You can hold up to **3 wallets** and switch which one is active for trades.

## Fund your wallet

1. Copy the **public address** shown in the wallet menu.
2. Send **SOL** from your external wallet or exchange.
3. Tap **Refresh** to update balance.

Minimum practical balance: enough for your trade size plus \~0.01–0.05 SOL buffer for fees (more if you use Turbo / high priority fees).

## Withdraw SOL

**🏦 Wallets** → Withdraw — send SOL to an address you trust. Double-check the destination before confirming.

## Internal transfer

If you use multiple bot wallets, you can move SOL between them without leaving Telegram.

## Dust-to-Gold

Reclaim rent from empty token accounts (**Burn empty ATAs**) — useful after selling 100% of meme coins.

## Security rules

* **Never** paste your private key in any group chat — only in a **private** chat with the bot.
* Use a wallet **only for trading**, not your life savings.
* Export keys only through official bot flows when you need a backup.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hipersnipe.com/getting-started/wallet-setup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
