  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Transfer Funds

* Confirm the prompt to transfer funds from your main wallet to the sub-wallet
* If the transfer fails and the balance shows as 0, you can manually add funds using the "Add Funds" button at the bottom of the task page
* If the balance appears incorrect, try refreshing the page first before taking further action
  {% endstep %}

## FAQs

<details>

<summary><strong>Is the sub-wallet a new wallet or my existing wallet?</strong></summary>

Each time you use the "Use Sub-Wallet Create Copy" feature, the system automatically generates a completely new and independent wallet address.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>I am currently copy trading with my main wallet and want to switch to sub-wallets to copy 3 different addresses. How do I do this?</strong></summary>

First, stop or delete your existing copy trading task on the main wallet. Then, click `+ Use Sub-Wallet Create Copy` separately for each target address. Each sub-wallet will operate independently without affecting the others.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How are funds allocated to the sub-wallet?</strong></summary>

When creating a sub-wallet copy trading task, the system will prompt you to transfer funds from your main wallet. You can allocate a different amount to each sub-wallet, keeping funds fully separated across tasks.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>The sub-wallet balance shows 0 after creation. What should I do?</strong></summary>

First, try refreshing the page. If the balance still shows 0, the initial transfer may have failed. Use the "Add Funds" button at the bottom of the task page to manually deposit funds into the sub-wallet.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>How do I retrieve the private key of my sub-wallet?</strong></summary>

Navigate to the relevant copy trading task details page. At the bottom of the page, there is an option to export the private key of the sub-wallet.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>Can the same target address be copied by both my main wallet and a sub-wallet at the same time?</strong></summary>

No. Each target address can only have one active copy trading task per account. Duplicate entries are not permitted.

</details>

## Important Notes

* Always export and securely store the private key of each sub-wallet. It cannot be recovered if lost.
* Each sub-wallet holds funds independently and does not interfere with other sub-wallets or your main wallet.
