# Wallets

> Create, rename, switch and archive the wallets your trades come from.

A Dawn wallet is a **pair of addresses** — one EVM, one Solana — that travel together as one entry. It has its own balance, its own positions and its own orders.

Open it with `/wallets`, or **Wallets** on the home screen.

<Note>
  Your very first wallet is created for you when you send `/start`. You do not need to make another one to begin trading.
</Note>

## Read the list

Each row shows the wallet's label, its spendable **USDC**, the worth of its **Portfolio**, and both addresses.

| Mark               | Meaning                                                                                   |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ⭐ **Default**      | The wallet currently in use. Trades, orders and deposits go here unless you pick another. |
| **Set as default** | Tap to make that wallet the one in use.                                                   |
| **Manage**         | Opens the wallet's own page: rename, archive, send from it.                               |

## Create a wallet

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick the profile">
    Wallets belong to a profile, and a profile's settings apply to every wallet in it. Switch to the profile you want first — see [Profiles](/wallets/profiles).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add it">
    In `/wallets`, tap **New wallet**. Dawn creates the address pair through [Privy](https://privy.io) and names it **Wallet 2**, **Wallet 3**, and so on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fund it">
    A new wallet starts empty. Deposit into it, or send USDC across from another wallet with [Send](/funds/withdraw#send-to-your-own-wallets).
  </Step>
</Steps>

Each profile holds up to **5 wallets**. With 5 profiles, that is **25** in total.

## Rename a wallet

Open the wallet's **Manage** page and choose **Rename**. Up to **20 characters** — letters, digits, spaces, dashes and underscores.

A good label is worth setting early. Once you are trading from several wallets at once, "Wallet 3" tells you nothing.

## Archive and restore

Archiving takes a wallet out of the list without touching anything inside it.

* Nothing is sold and nothing is sent.
* The keys stay with Privy.
* The positions and the history stay with the wallet.
* Restoring puts it back in its profile, **not in use**, so nothing starts trading from it by surprise.

If the wallet still holds funds, Dawn says so before archiving and gives you the chance to move them first.

<Warning>
  Archiving does not stop orders that are already placed. Cancel anything you do not want to fire before you archive — see [Managing orders](/orders/manage).
</Warning>

Restore from **Archived wallets**. If the destination profile is already full, Dawn tells you which wallet to archive to make room.

## Trading from several wallets

You can buy the same coin from every wallet in a profile in one go, and on Solana land all of those buys in the same block. See [Multi-wallet trading](/trading/multi-wallet).

## Two-factor authentication

The header of the list says whether **🔐 2FA** is on. With it on, approving a send and exporting a key ask for a second factor first; trading never does. Set it up from the **🔐 2FA** button under the list — see [Two-factor authentication](/wallets/two-factor).

## Where the keys are

Dawn does not hold your private keys. They are created and held by [Privy](https://privy.io), and you can export them at any time — see [Import and export](/wallets/import-export) and [Security](/wallets/security).
