# Export your wallet

Learn how to export your Feel.cash embedded EVM wallet through Privy, with precautions for protecting the private key and access to your assets.

Feel.cash uses a Privy embedded EVM wallet for your Cash, coins, and onchain activity. Advanced users can export that wallet's private key through [Privy Home](https://home.privy.io) and load it into a compatible EVM wallet client.

Exporting does not move your assets or create a new wallet. It gives you direct access to the same EVM address.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Your private key gives complete and permanent control of the wallet and everything it holds. Anyone who obtains it can move your funds without your permission, and blockchain transactions generally cannot be reversed.

Never paste the key into a website, send it to support, save it in email or cloud notes, store it in a screenshot, or share it with anyone. Feel.cash and Privy will never ask you to disclose it. Once you export the key, you are solely responsible for keeping it secure and for every external wallet or device where you enter it. Feel.cash and Privy cannot recover or reimburse assets lost through exposure of the key, malware, an unsafe wallet client, or an incorrectly signed transaction.
{% endhint %}

## Export Through Privy Home

Privy Home currently starts with email verification. Before opening Privy Home, make sure your Feel.cash account has a direct email sign-in method:

1. In Feel.cash, open **Settings → Sign-in methods**.
2. Check **Email**. If it says **Not linked**, choose **Link**, enter an email address you control, and verify the one-time code. Do this even if Google, Apple, or X is already linked: those remain separate sign-in methods.
3. Open [Privy Home](https://home.privy.io) and choose **Get started**.
4. Enter the same email address shown under **Settings → Sign-in methods → Email**, then complete the code verification.
5. Find the EVM wallet whose complete address matches the wallet address shown in your Feel.cash account. If more than one wallet appears, verify the address before continuing.
6. Open that wallet's account details and choose the private-key export option presented by Privy.
7. Complete Privy's verification flow, reveal the key in a private environment, and import it only into an EVM wallet client you trust.

If you cannot link or verify the email, or the expected wallet is not shown, stop and contact <hey@feel.cash>. Do not continue with a different wallet or create a new account.

Privy explains that an embedded wallet key is assembled on a separate origin and is available only to the user. See [Privy's wallet export documentation](https://docs.privy.io/wallets/wallets/export) for its current security model and supported key format.

## What Stays the Same

Exporting the key does not unlink the wallet, change its address, remove its balances, or erase its onchain history. Transactions signed from an external wallet client are transactions from that same address.

## Leaderboard and External Transactions

Exporting the wallet does not remove it from the Feel.cash leaderboard. Eligible trades made from the same address can still be indexed and reflected in leaderboard activity, including trades made outside Feel.cash, subject to the current leaderboard rules and normal indexing delays.

You can use the exported key to sign EVM transactions supported by your external wallet client. Always confirm the network, contract, recipient, amount, and permissions before signing.

## Gas Outside Feel.cash

Gas sponsorship applies only to supported transactions initiated through Feel.cash. When you use the exported wallet in an external client, Feel.cash does not sponsor the transaction. You must hold and pay the gas required by the network yourself.

Exporting a wallet is optional. You can continue using Feel.cash without handling a private key.
