Creating a Wallet

Overview​

To fund and launch your strategy on the platform, you need to create a wallet for your Deployment to use. To create a wallet, navigate to the Wallets section in the Almanak dashboard by clicking on the Deploy drop-down, then Wallets.

Step by step process​

  1. Click Create Wallet
  2. Give it a name and select the network where you want to deploy your wallet. Choose the network that you have at least $5 USD worth of native gas token on. Ethereum mainnet requires a higher amount.
  3. Review the wallet creation details and click Create Wallet.
  4. Sign the three transactions that are generated in your wallet at Create Wallet, Add Modules, and Delegate Access stages. For more information on what these transactions do, see the Wallets page.
  5. Top up your wallet with with gas funds to be ready for use. Do NOT top up with too high of an amount - gas funds cannot be withdrawn.
  6. Fund your wallet with assets your strategy will start with.

Completing all the above steps might take a few minutes as the necessary smart contracts are deployed.

The wallet creation process is optionally included as part of the Strategy Deployment process explored in the next guide.
