## <mark style="color:yellow;">How to Manage Your Wallets</mark>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### <mark style="color:yellow;">Create or Import a Wallet</mark>

* **Create Wallet:** Instantly generates a brand-new Solana wallet inside Nova.
* **Import Wallet:** Lets you bring in an existing wallet using its **private key**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### <mark style="color:yellow;">Understand Keys</mark>

* **Public Key:** This is your **wallet address** - the one you can safely share to receive SOL or tokens. Think of it like your bank account number.
* **Private Key:** This is your **wallet’s password** - it gives full control over your funds. Never share it with anyone, and always store it securely offline.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### <mark style="color:yellow;">Organize and Manage</mark>

* **Rename Wallet:** Assign a custom name for easier identification.
* **Delete Wallet:** Permanently removes the selected wallet from Nova.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### <mark style="color:yellow;">Enable Pro Account (Automatic)</mark>

Activate **Pro Account** to unlock faster trade execution. Nova routes through top Solana providers and automatically optimizes your **priority fee** and **bribe ratio** to stay ahead of the market. Cost: **0.002 SOL per wallet**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### <mark style="color:yellow;">Update and Exit</mark>

* **Refresh:** Sync wallet balances and connection status.
* **Back:** Return to the previous menu.
* **Close:** Exit the Wallets panel.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip**: Always back up your **private key** securely. If you lose it, your wallet and funds cannot be recovered - not even by Nova.
