Use this page when you want to add wallets you already control to a trading profile. If you want to buy aged wallet inventory instead, see [Wallet Marketplace](/wallets/wallet-marketplace).

## Import via Private Keys

![Import Wallets modal with private key input](/images/import-wallets.png)

1. Navigate to your profile's **Wallets** tab
2. Click **+ New Wallets**
3. Select the **Import Keys** tab
4. Paste your **private keys** — one per line, or comma-separated (up to 300)
5. Optionally assign a **wallet group**
6. Click **Confirm**

Sumo encrypts each private key and adds the wallets to your profile.

## Import from Wallet Farm

Use this when you prepared wallets in [Wallet Farm](/wallet-farm/overview) before the profile existed.

1. Navigate to the target profile's **Wallets** tab
2. Click **+ New Wallets**
3. Select the **From Farm** tab
4. Choose one or more Wallet Farm folders
5. Optionally assign the imported wallets to a wallet group or create a new group
6. Click **Confirm**

Only active Wallet Farm wallets on the same chain are available for import.

## Import via Seed Phrase

You can also import a seed phrase to derive wallets from it:

1. Click **+ New Wallets** → **Create New** tab
2. Enter your existing **seed phrase** in the optional seed field
3. Choose how many wallets to derive
4. Click **Confirm**

Sumo derives wallets from your seed using the same BIP-44 HD derivation path it uses for generated seeds.

> **Key Security**
>
> Imported private keys and seed phrases are encrypted immediately using AES-256-GCM before storage. They never exist in plaintext in Sumo's database. See [Security & Encryption](/wallets/security-encryption) for details.

## Import from Another Profile

You can copy wallets from one profile to another within the same organization, without needing to re-enter private keys or seed phrases. This is useful when you want to reuse existing wallets across multiple token profiles — for example, using the same set of trading wallets on a new token launch.

![Import From Profile modal](/images/import-from-profile.png)

1. Navigate to the **target** profile's **Wallets** tab
2. Click **+ New Wallets**
3. Select the **From Profile** tab
4. Choose a **Source Profile** from the dropdown — only profiles on the same network are shown
5. Select source wallets, wallet groups, or all wallets from that profile
6. Optionally assign the imported wallets to a **wallet group** on the target profile (or create a new one)
7. Click **Confirm**

> **How It Works**
>
> Imported wallets are cloned into the target profile with an **archived** status. This means they won't participate in any active strategies until you explicitly activate them. Wallets that already exist in the target profile are skipped — no duplicates are created.

After import, you'll be redirected to the **Archived** tab where you can review and activate the imported wallets. Each import is recorded in the [Audit Logs](/reporting/audit-logs) for traceability.
