This is how the wallet menu will look when you open it without a wallet.

If you have an existing wallet which you would like to import (*note: we always suggest that you create a new wallet for the trading bot when starting to use it*), you can do so using the ‘Import Wallet’ button and pasting your seed phrase or private key, it’s that simple!

If you want to generate a new wallet, click on the ‘Generate Wallet’ button, which will show you a success message similar to the following:
