  Once you have logged into Kiyotaka, you will need to generate your internal
  wallet to begin trading. We utilize Privy to securely generate and deploy this
  wallet for you.

## Step-by-Step Guide

{% step %}
### Initiate Wallet Creation

Navigate to the **Wallet** icon located at the top right of the navigation bar. If you do not have an active wallet yet, you will be prompted to create a new wallet.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
### Email Verification (via Privy)

To ensure the security of your new wallet, Privy requires a secondary verification step:

1. A prompt will appear asking for your email address.
2. Check your inbox for a **6-digit verification code** sent by **Privy**.
3. **Copy and paste** this code into the verification box on Kiyotaka.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Why is this separate?** Even if you logged in with Google or X, this specific verification ensures that you (and only you) are authorizing the creation of a cryptographic wallet tied to your identity.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
### Deployment & Activation

Once the code is verified:

- **Generation:** Privy will instantly generate your unique wallet address.
- **Deployment:** Your wallet is deployed and linked to your Kiyotaka account.
- **Ready:** You will see your new wallet address (e.g., `0x123...`) appear in the dropdown.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Next Steps

Your wallet is now ready to go!

- **Deposit Funds:** You can now send USDC to your new address on the **Polygon** network.
