# Import wallets

> Bring an EVM or Solana wallet into Cove, individually or from CSV.

Imports go into your **active real profile**. If you import only an EVM or Solana key, Cove creates the missing side.

<Warning>A private key controls the wallet. Enter it only in the official bot's active import flow. Never send it to support, another person, a group, or a screenshot.</Warning>

## Import one wallet

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose the wallet type">
    In the intended profile, open `/wallets` → **Import Wallet** → **EVM Only**, **Solana Only**, or **Both**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Provide the requested key">
    Follow the private-key prompt. Cove removes the submitted message from the chat. Keep your own secure backup; message deletion does not replace careful handling.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name and confirm">
    Enter an optional **Wallet Label** or skip it. Review the wallet and tap **Confirm Import**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the result">
    Open `/wallets` and select the imported wallet if you want it to trade. Other-chain stablecoins stay where they are until you approve bridging or enable auto-bridge.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Import a CSV batch

Choose **Bulk (CSV)** to paste rows or upload a **.csv** or **.txt** file. Limits: **10 wallets**, **64 KB**, and the free slots in your profile.

Columns are an optional name, EVM key, and Solana key. The header is optional. Keep empty cells. Names can contain up to 32 characters and cannot contain commas.

```text theme={null}
name,EVM_KEY,SOLANA_KEY
Example EVM,REPLACE_WITH_EVM_KEY,
Example Solana,,REPLACE_WITH_SOLANA_KEY
Example Both,REPLACE_WITH_EVM_KEY,REPLACE_WITH_SOLANA_KEY
```

These placeholders show the format; they are not importable keys. EVM keys may start with `0x`; Solana keys use base58.

1. Open **Import Wallet → Bulk (CSV)** in the intended profile.
2. Paste or upload the batch. Correct any per-row validation errors.
3. Review the labels, shortened addresses, and statuses in **Review wallet imports**.
4. Tap **Import** with the displayed count.
5. Wait for **Wallet import results** and check every row.

Closing the message does not cancel an import already running. If there are too few slots, the whole batch is refused before importing. Bulk-imported wallets start with auto-bridge off.

## Resolve import issues

| Result                                   | What to do                                          |
| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Already imported — skipped               | Find the existing wallet in your profiles           |
| Recover instead                          | Use **Cove Wallets → Deleted → Recover**            |
| Import incomplete / provider busy        | Check results before retrying the CSV as instructed |
| Invalid key or duplicate address         | Correct the named row                               |
| Not enough slots                         | Reduce the batch or choose another profile          |
| Target profile changed / session expired | Start a new import in the intended profile          |

Secure your backups and remove temporary key files when no longer needed. Do not attach an import CSV to support.
