Overview
If you already have a Polygon wallet with USDC, you can import it into anumaan bot to start trading immediately. This is ideal for experienced users who want to use their existing funds.Prerequisites
Before importing, make sure you have:- ✅ A Polygon wallet address
- ✅ The wallet’s private key (64 characters, hexadecimal)
- ✅ USDC balance on Polygon network (optional, but needed for trading)
Your wallet must be on the Polygon network (not Ethereum mainnet). If your USDC is on Ethereum, you’ll need to bridge it first.
How to Import Your Wallet
Start the Import Process
When you first use the bot, select “Import Existing Wallet” from the welcome message.Or use the wallet import command:
Prepare Your Private Key
Locate your wallet’s private key. This is typically:
- A 64-character hexadecimal string
- Starting with
0x(optional) - Stored in your wallet application or backup
- MetaMask: Settings → Security & Privacy → Reveal Private Key
- Trust Wallet: Wallet → Settings → Show Secret Phrase → View Private Key
- Hardware Wallet: Export private key through device interface
Submit Your Private Key
When prompted, send your private key to the bot. The bot will:
- Validate the key format
- Derive your wallet address
- Link it to your Telegram account
- Confirm successful import
The bot accepts private keys with or without the
0x prefix.Security Measures
