Prow wallet

The Prow wallet is an EVM wallet made for you by Privy. Use it to receive funds and to own your venue accounts when you don't have a wallet of your own. In Predictions it can also place your bets: see Bets on Polymarket and predict.fun.

Who gets one

Prow creates it the first time you sign in without a wallet: with email, Google, Apple or a passkey.

If you signed up with your own wallet, like MetaMask or Rabby, you don't get a Prow wallet at sign-up. You use your own wallet instead, and this card doesn't show. The exception is Predictions: when it makes a Polymarket or predict.fun account for you and you have no Prow wallet, it makes one first, with no signature, and the card then shows.

If you signed up before Prow wallets existed, the card says No wallet. Tap Create to make one.

Where to find it

Go to Settings > Account and scroll to Prow wallet. On a computer, Settings opens from your account at the bottom of the sidebar. On a phone, open the Profile tab and tap Sign-in and wallet.

The card shows:

• Prow wallet (by Privy) and a short address. The copy icon copies the full address.
• Receive: shows a QR code and the full address.
• Export private key: opens Privy's export window.

Who holds the key

The Prow wallet is non-custodial. Privy splits the key into encrypted shares. They only come together when you sign in and sign something. Prow never sees the key. Not on its servers, not in its logs.

Prow's trading keys still can't withdraw or transfer from your venue accounts. Withdrawals always need a signature from the wallet that owns the account.

Receive funds

Tap Receive on the card. You see a QR code of your address and which network to send on.

Aster also accepts deposits from Arbitrum and Ethereum, with a little ETH on that network to pay network fees.

Bets on Polymarket and predict.fun

In Predictions the Prow wallet can place and hold your bets, so you need no wallet of your own.

• Polymarket: the Prow wallet owns your Polymarket wallet. It is an account of its own, separate from any you made on polymarket.com, and the money for your bets sits in it.
• predict.fun: the Prow wallet is your predict.fun account. Your USDT and a little BNB sit in the Prow wallet itself, on BNB Chain.

Prow never holds this money. Bets and claims on both venues need no pop-up. Prow asks Privy to skip its confirm window for a short list of requests, and only for these accounts:

• Polymarket: logging in, a bet, turning on trading and claiming winnings, as long as the request does nothing else.
• predict.fun: logging in, a bet, turning on trading, and claiming winnings to the wallet itself.

Anything else opens Privy's confirm window, where you see the request and can refuse it. That includes sending money out of the wallet and any request Prow doesn't know. A wallet of your own always shows its own prompt for each bet.

Add money for bets

• Polymarket: open Add USDC to Polymarket. The Prow wallet tab sends USDC on Arbitrum, so the wallet needs a little ETH for the fee, and because it is a transfer Privy's confirm window opens. The Another wallet tab shows the account's own deposit address for each network, with a QR code. Either way it arrives as Polymarket cash in about 2 minutes.
• predict.fun: open Add USDT to predict.fun. It shows the Prow wallet's own address on BNB Chain. Send USDT on BNB Chain (BEP-20) there, and a little BNB too: turning on trading and every claim are paid in BNB.

Both windows open from Add USDC or Add USDT on the account's row in Prediction accounts (tap Bets or Cash at the top of Predictions), and from the bet ticket's button when an account is short.

Export the private key

Export the key to use this wallet in MetaMask, Rabby or any other wallet. Do it before you put real money in, so you have a backup.

1. Open the card

   Go to Settings > Account > Prow wallet (on a phone, Profile > Sign-in and wallet).

2. Tap Export private key

   Privy's own window opens. It runs on Privy's site, not Prow's.

3. Copy the key

   Follow the steps in Privy's window to reveal and copy the key.

4. Store it safely

   Import it into MetaMask or Rabby, or write it down and keep it offline.

Export only works inside Prow, while you can sign in. Privy's own site can't export it. So keep a backup of the key and more than one sign-in method.

Passkey only? Add an email

A passkey lives on one device or keychain. If that is your only sign-in method and you lose the device, you lose the Prow wallet and everything in it.

In that case the card shows a warning: You sign in only with a passkey. Tap Add email to recover to jump to Sign-in methods. Add an email, Google or Apple before you fund the wallet, and export the key as a backup.
