# Wallet Funding

> Choose how many wallets buy your supply and how Ora funds them before you launch.

### Funding your wallets

On the **Wallets** step, you set up the wallets that will buy your supply: how many to use, how much each one holds, and how they're funded. Funding starts when you create your token.

### Wallet settings

Choose how many wallets to launch with, using the **Recommended Wallet Number** or a **Custom Number**.

* **Recommended Wallet Number:** based on data from past launches, Ora gives you the best number of wallets for the best results, with the supply already split between them. When it can, Ora uses aged wallets for them: the ones you already own first, then wallets from the [Marketplace](https://docs.useora.xyz/ora-overview/portfolio/marketplace/). Their tier, **Gold** or **Diamond**, shows in the **Wallet Type** column.
* **Custom Number:** full control over your setup. Add or remove wallets and set how much each one holds.

The table lists your wallets with their **Wallet**, **Holdings**, **Allocation** and **Wallet Type**. In **Custom Number**, it also has tick boxes and an **Actions** column. Your dev wallet is always part of the launch.

* In both modes, you can rename a wallet.
* In **Custom Number**, you can also untick wallets, edit a wallet's **Holdings** (Ora rebalances the others) and delete wallets.

The holdings of your selected wallets must add up to your **Supply Buy %** before you can create your token.

> **Note:** Custom wallets are usually the better option, especially for hyped launches where you want to shape your whole supply distribution.

### Funding type

Click **Funding** above the wallets table to choose how your wallets are funded, then click **Save**.

* **CEX Funding** on Solana, **Private Funding** on Robinhood: fund your wallets discreetly through a provider, so the on-chain trail doesn't link your wallet to your launch wallets. Best for more advanced launches.
* **Classic Funding:** fund your wallets directly from a single funding wallet. Best for quick and simple launches.

CEX or Private Funding is marked **Recommended**, and new launches start on it with Husher.

### Funding providers

With CEX or Private Funding selected, choose who routes the funds under **Provider**:

* **Husher** (Solana and Robinhood): the default provider. It routes the deposit itself, so there's no exchange to pick. On Robinhood, it's the only provider, so it's selected automatically.
* **Splitnow** (Solana only): it routes the funds through exchanges. Under **Select the CEXs**, tick the ones to use among Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, Gate.io, MEXC and WhiteBIT. They're all ticked by default: **Deselect All** clears the list and **Select All** ticks them all again.

> **Note:** CEX funding helps keep your wallets from being flagged as clusters on trading terminals and analytics tools.

### Adding wallets

With **Custom Number** selected:

1. Click **Add** above the wallets table. While the table is still empty, you can also click **Add wallets** in it.
2. In **Add wallets**, choose a **Wallet Type**: **Aged Wallets**, **Import Wallets** or **Fresh Wallets**.
3. With **Aged Wallets** or **Fresh Wallets**, enter the **Wallet Number**, or use **MAX** or the slider. With **Import Wallets**, tick the wallets to add in the list of your imported wallets, using **Search Wallets** to find them.
4. Click **Add N Wallets**.

The number of wallets you can add depends on your launch. When **Add** is disabled, hover it to see why: **This launch already uses the maximum of N wallets.** or **Raise the Supply Buy % to add more wallets.**

### Wallet type

In the **Add wallets** window, choose the wallets your launch uses under **Wallet Type**:

* **Aged Wallets:** wallets with an on-chain history, from the [Marketplace](https://docs.useora.xyz/ora-overview/portfolio/marketplace/). It's the **Recommended** type and the one selected when the window opens. You pay for aged wallets when you add them, not with the launch, and Ora doesn't fund them: each one pays its own fees from its own balance.
* **Import Wallets:** your own wallets imported into Ora.
* **Fresh Wallets:** new wallets Ora creates for your launch, with no previous on-chain history.

You can also use one of your own wallets as the dev wallet. See [Import Wallets](https://docs.useora.xyz/ora-overview/portfolio/import-wallets/).

### Paying for funding

Funding is paid from your Ora balance, in dollars, whichever chain the launch is on. The Token Preview shows the **Total Cost**, the total to fund across your wallets, leaving out the wallets you already own. Only the **Net Cost** is actually spent, the rest comes back when you sell.

If your balance is too low, the **Create token** confirmation tells you how much you need.
