3. Hot wallets: generate, fund, back up and sweep
Create a strategy wallet, fund it, back it up, and get your funds back out.
Every Surge strategy trades from its own hot wallet, not your main wallet. That keeps each strategy's funds separate and lets strategies sign their own trades without a wallet pop-up every time.

Generate a wallet
Open Wallets and click Generate.
Choose how many wallets to create and give them a label. You can hold up to 20.
Optionally, assign a strategy right away.
Surge creates a fresh Cardano key in your browser. There's no 24-word seed phrase. Each wallet is secured by a single private key, which is encrypted in this browser and backed up to your account.
Fund a wallet
Open the wallet and click Fund.
Choose ADA and any tokens from your connected wallet.
Sign once in your wallet. The balance updates when the transaction confirms.

Before you delete a wallet
Withdraw first. Sweep or send its funds out before deleting.
Keep a copy. Export your wallets and store the file somewhere safe.
It can't be undone. If a wallet isn't backed up or exported, its assets are lost for good once deleted.
