# Wallet Overview

> Understanding wallet management in anumaan bot

## What is Your Wallet?

Your wallet is your trading account on anumaan bot. It holds your USDC balance and connects you to Polymarket for trading prediction markets. All wallet operations are managed securely through the bot.

## Wallet Dashboard

Access your complete wallet information with the `/wallet` command:

```bash theme={null}
/wallet
```

The dashboard shows:

* **USDC Balance**: Your available trading funds
* **POL Balance**: Gas tokens (for emergencies only - usually not needed)
* **Wallet Address**: Your unique Polygon address for deposits
* **Quick Actions**: Fund wallet, view transactions, check positions

## Security Best Practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Never Share Your Private Key">
    Only enter your private key when importing a wallet, and only in a **private conversation** with the bot. Never share it in groups or with other users.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Verify the Bot Username">
    Always check you're messaging the official bot. Scammers create fake bots with similar names.

    Official bot: `@anumaan_bot`
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Enable 2FA on Telegram">
    Protect your Telegram account with two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access to the bot.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Keep Backup of Wallet Info">
    Save your wallet address and any export information securely offline. Consider using a password manager.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Start Small">
    Begin with a small deposit (like \$10-50) to test the system before committing larger amounts.

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What network does the wallet use?">
    Your wallet operates on the Polygon network (formerly Matic). This is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum that offers fast, low-cost transactions.

  <Accordion title="Can I use the same wallet with other apps?">
    Yes! If you created a new wallet or imported an existing one, you can use the same wallet address with other Polygon-compatible applications.
