# Import Wallets

> Bring wallets you own into Ora with their private keys, into your wallets or into a launch.

There are three ways to bring wallets into Ora:

* **My Wallets import:** add wallets you own with their private keys.
* **DEV wallet import:** use one of your wallets as the DEV wallet of a launch.
* **Launch import:** add wallets you imported into **My Wallets** to a new launch, with the **Import Wallets** option.

> **Warning:** **Keep your private keys safe.** A private key gives full control over its wallet and everything in it. Only import wallets you own, paste keys only into Ora's import fields, and never share a key with anyone.

### Import wallets into My Wallets

Bring wallets you already own into Ora with their private keys.

1. Open **Wallets** in the top navigation. It opens on the **My Wallets** tab.
2. Click **Import** in your wallets panel.
3. In the **Import Wallet** window, choose the wallets' **Chain**. When your wallets list is filtered to a chain, it starts on that chain.
4. Paste your keys in **Private Key**, separated by commas, semicolons or new lines.
5. Click **Import N Wallets**.

* **Format:** one private key per wallet, all on the chain you picked.
* **Limit:** up to **100** private keys per import. With more than 100 keys, the import button stays disabled.
* **Counter:** the number above the field shows how many keys Ora reads. Empty entries and extra separators don't count.

### Import a DEV wallet for a launch

Use one of your own wallets as the DEV wallet of your launch.

1. In the **Wallets** step of the deploy flow, choose **Custom Number**.
2. On the **DEV** row of your wallets table, click the import icon (**Import dev wallet**) in the **Actions** column.
3. In the **Import DEV wallet** window, paste the wallet's private key in **Developer Wallet**.
4. Click **Import**. The button stays disabled until you paste a key.

* **Format:** one private key.
* **When:** the import icon only shows in **Custom Number**, before you click **Create Token**.
* **After:** this wallet makes the first buy after deploy.

### Add your Ora wallets to a launch

Add wallets you already imported into **My Wallets** to a new launch, instead of aged or fresh ones. This option doesn't ask for private keys again: it lists your imported wallets that no launch holds yet.

*[Image: Add wallets window with Import Wallets picked: Available, Select All, Search Wallets, the wallet list with two wallets ticked, and the Add 2 Wallets button]*

1. In the **Wallets** step of the deploy flow, choose **Custom Number**.
2. Click **Add wallets**, or **Add** above your wallets table.
3. In the **Add wallets** window, pick **Import Wallets** under **Wallet Type**.
4. Tick the wallets to add. You can use **Select All**, **Search Wallets**, tick a whole group, or hold **Shift** and click to tick a range. The counters next to the search show how many wallets you ticked and their total balance.
5. Click **Add N Wallets**.

* **Which wallets:** the wallets you imported into **My Wallets**, on the same chain as this launch, that no launch holds yet. They are grouped as in **My Wallets**. Wallets you archived or deleted there, and wallets already on this launch, don't show. If you have none, the list shows a message like **No imported wallets available on Solana.**
* **Limit:** **Available** shows how many wallets your launch can still take. Past that, you get **You can add up to N wallets.**
* **After:** the wallets join your wallets table with an **Imported** badge.
