Choose a wallet
Pick the wallet that owns your venue accounts. Use your own wallet, or the Prow wallet Prow makes for you.
Every venue account belongs to a wallet address. That wallet owns the funds. It is also the wallet that approves Prow's trading key.
After you sign in with email, Google, Apple or a passkey, Prow asks you to Choose your wallet. If you signed in with a wallet, Prow uses that one and skips this step.
Your two options
| Prow wallet | Connect my wallet | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A wallet Prow creates for you. Embedded, by Privy. | A wallet you already use: MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase or any WalletConnect wallet. |
| Best for | New users with no wallet app. | People who already hold funds in a wallet. |
| Who holds the key | Privy keeps it secure. You can export it any time. | You. Prow never sees it. |
| Hyperliquid | Works. Fund it with USDC and a little ETH on Arbitrum, then deposit from Prow. | Works. Deposit from Prow. |
| Aster | Needs a wallet app: Aster takes deposits only from one. See below. | Works. Deposit on asterdex.com. |
The Prow wallet card shows Recommended, and says that Aster needs a wallet app. Tap Use Prow wallet to pick it. Tap Connect wallet to link your own. If your own wallet is already linked, the button shows its address, for example Use 0x1111…1111.
Not sure? Tap Skip. Each venue can use a different wallet later, in its connect window.
What the wallet signs
Your wallet signs only a few things:
- Setup. Approving a trading key for this device, and the optional Prow fee.
- Withdrawals and transfers. Moving money out of a venue account always needs your wallet.
Everyday trading does not use your wallet. Prow signs orders with a trading key stored on your device. The trading key can open and close positions. It can never withdraw. So you do not get a wallet pop-up for every trade. Bets on Polymarket and predict.fun are different: the wallet that owns the account signs each bet, with no pop-up for a Prow wallet and a prompt every time for a wallet of your own.
The prompts for trading and funds, with network fees and whether they can move funds, are in What you sign.
Prow wallet and Aster
Aster takes deposits only on its own site, asterdex.com, from a wallet app such as MetaMask or Rabby. Prow can't deposit to Aster from a Prow wallet.If the Prow wallet is the only wallet you have, the Aster card on Where do you trade? says Needs a wallet app, and Connect Aster asks you to link one:
- Tap Link a wallet app and pick MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase or WalletConnect.
- Prow goes on with that wallet: you approve a trading key with it, then deposit on asterdex.com from the same wallet. See Connect Aster.
You can start without a wallet app. The Prow wallet works with Hyperliquid and with Predictions:
- Trade on Hyperliquid: send USDC and about $1 of ETH on Arbitrum to your Prow wallet, then tap Add Hyperliquid.
- Bet on Predictions: tap Add money to Predictions first to get your deposit address, then send USDT or USDC to it from many networks. The app says from $2, the lowest minimum of any network; some networks ask for more. Prow shows this only where Polymarket takes bets from your country. See Prediction markets.
If the Prow wallet is your only wallet, an Aster account you already connected with it shows the same two choices where it used to say to deposit on asterdex.com: in the Deposit dialog and when you finish connecting. The ticket's Deposit to trade opens that dialog, and the Aster card in Settings > Venues says that a Prow wallet can't fund Aster, with a Deposit button for it.
If you have a wallet app and the Prow wallet, the wallet list on Aster shows this warning next to the Prow wallet:
Prow wallet can't deposit to Aster from Prow. Aster takes deposits only on asterdex.com with a wallet app, so you'd have to import the Prow wallet key into MetaMask or Rabby. Have a wallet app already? Pick it instead.
Change your choice
Prow remembers your choice on this device. To use another wallet for a venue, open Settings > Venues, tap Add another account, and pick a different wallet in that venue's connect window. You can connect several accounts on one venue, one per wallet.
