Getting StartedThe Basics
Wallet Management
Your wallets, who holds the keys, and how to back them up.
Every account gets a Solana trading wallet at sign-up. It is the wallet the terminal trades from, and it is separate from any wallet you log in with. To trade with funds in a login wallet, send them over or import that wallet.
Who holds the keys
Your main, extra and imported wallets are held by Privy, our wallet provider. Their private keys stay in Privy's secure enclave and never reach Trenchers, so our staff cannot see or extract them. One-tap trading lets the app sign your trades without a pop-up each time. It turns on when you sign in.
Your wallets
| Wallet | What it is |
|---|---|
| Main wallet | Created at sign-up. Your default trading wallet and deposit address. |
| Wallet 1, Wallet 2 and on | Extra trading wallets. Make one with Create in Portfolio → Wallets. |
| Imported Wallet | A wallet you already own, added with its private key through Import Wallet in Manage Wallets. |
| Bot wallets | Each live bot trades from its own wallet, used by that bot only. See Bot Wallets. |
| Paper pool | 10 paper SOL for paper bots. It is not real money and can never be withdrawn. |
You can trade from your main, extra and imported wallets, even several at once. See Multi-Wallet.
Back up your key
Open Manage Wallets
Open the account menu and pick Manage Wallets.
Export your key
Choose Export private key on your main wallet. The key opens in Privy's secure window, where you can copy it.
Store it safely
Keep it in a password manager, or import it into Phantom or Backpack. With it, you can reach your funds without Trenchers.
Export is offered on your main wallet. If you chose Back up later at sign-up, you can do it here at any time.
Anyone with your private key controls your wallet. Never share it. Trenchers staff will never ask for it.
