Wallets & Accounts
Qwerti is a non-custodial platform — we never store your funds or private keys. To use Qwerti, you always interact through a wallet:
your own wallet (browser / mobile wallet), or
an embedded smart wallet created with your email or socials.
This page explains how wallets work in Qwerti, how to connect them, and what to expect as a user.
1. Wallet Types in Qwerti
Qwerti supports two main types of wallets:
External (self-custody) wallets
Embedded smart wallets
1.1 External (self-custody) wallets
These are the wallets you already use in Web3, for example:
browser extension wallets
mobile wallets (connected via QR / connect flow)
With these wallets:
You fully control your private keys.
Qwerti only reads:
your public address
your balances on supported networks
Every transaction must be confirmed by you in your wallet.
1.2 Embedded smart wallets
If you’re new to crypto or don’t have a wallet yet, Qwerti can help you create an embedded smart wallet.
Key ideas:
You log in using:
social account (e.g. Twitter, etc.)
or email (depending on the provider)
A wallet is created for you in the background by a specialized wallet provider (e.g. Privy).
You can:
receive tokens
swap tokens
send tokens
interact with DeFi through Qwerti
export this wallet to an external wallet app (for example, if you created an embedded smart wallet first to start your crypto journey and then decided to install Metamask, Phantom, etc.)
You don’t need to install extensions or manage a seed phrase on day one.
From the user perspective, it behaves like:
“Sign in → you have a wallet ready → you can start trading.”
You still remain the owner of this wallet — Qwerti does not take custody of it.
2. Connecting Your Wallet
2.1 Where you see wallet status
In the Qwerti interface, you will usually see a button in the top area, such as:
“Connect Wallet” — if no wallet is connected yet
or a shortened wallet address / avatar — if you’re already connected
This is your main control for managing wallet connections.
2.2 Connecting an external wallet
If you already have a wallet:
Click “Connect Wallet”.
Choose your wallet from the list (for example, a browser wallet or a mobile wallet connect option).
Your wallet app / extension will open and ask you to approve the connection.
Once approved:
Qwerti can read your public address
you will see your connected wallet address in the UI
you can start swaps, bridges, and fiat → crypto flows that end in this wallet.
Qwerti never sees your private key. You always confirm any transaction directly in your wallet.
2.3 Creating / using an embedded smart wallet
If you don’t have a crypto wallet yet, or prefer a simpler setup:
Click “Connect Wallet”.
Choose the option like “Continue with email / socials / embedded wallet” (wording may differ).
Complete the login flow (for example, sign in with Google or email code).
A smart wallet is created for you in the background by the wallet provider.
You can now:
receive tokens bought via card or crypto
perform swaps and other onchain actions
see your balances in Qwerti
From this moment, you have a real onchain wallet, just without the typical “seed phrase first” UX.
3. How Transactions Work with Your Wallet
Regardless of the wallet type (external or embedded), the core rules are the same:
Qwerti prepares the transaction route
for example:
card → SOL → swap target token, or
USDC on Chain A → cross-chain swap → TOKEN on Chain B.
You review the details in Qwerti
source token / chain
target token / chain
estimated amount to receive
high-level fees and providers involved.
You confirm the transaction in your wallet or with the fiat provider
external wallet: confirm in your wallet extension / app
embedded smart wallet: confirm in the embedded wallet modal
fiat: confirm card / payment in the on-ramp provider UI.
If you don’t confirm, nothing is executed.
Qwerti does not:
send transactions behind your back
move funds without your approval
access your private keys.
4. Switching Wallets
You can switch between wallets if you want to:
use a different address, or
move from an embedded wallet to your own external wallet for more advanced usage.
Typical flow:
Click on your current wallet address in the Qwerti interface.
Click on log out icon (to disconnect wallet) or click on wallet address to switch wallet.
Connect another wallet using:
external wallet option, or
another embedded / login method.
Note: Your disconnected wallet still exists on-chain. Qwerti simply stops using it as the active wallet in the UI.
5. Funding Your Wallet
To use Qwerti effectively, your wallet usually needs:
some crypto balance for trading
and a small amount of the native token (for gas) on the networks you interact with.
You can fund your wallet in two main ways:
With fiat
Use “Buy with Card” or similar options
The on-ramp provider will convert your fiat (Card / Revolut, etc.) into crypto
Qwerti will route it into your target token and send it to your wallet.
With existing crypto
Deposit crypto from another wallet or exchange
Even with an embedded smart wallet, it behaves like a normal crypto wallet:
it has its own address
you can send funds to it from other wallets or exchanges
and then use Qwerti to manage swaps and other flows.
6. Wallet Dashboard
Qwerti gives you a single place to see your assets across wallets and networks.
6.1 One UI for all your wallets
If you use several wallets (for example, your main self-custody wallet and an embedded smart wallet), Qwerti:
fetches balances for all connected wallets
shows them in one dashboard
lets you quickly switch between wallets to focus on a specific address
6.2 Activity & transaction history
For each connected wallet, you can:
see a transaction history linked to that address
track swaps, buys, bridges, deposits and withdrawals
quickly understand what happened, when, and on which chain
This makes it easier to review your recent actions and verify that everything was executed as expected.
Wallet Dashboard — unified view of all your connected wallets and balances in one interface.
7. Troubleshooting & Common Questions
“I’m new and I’m afraid to lose my seed phrase. What should I use?”
If you’re just starting:
Using an embedded smart wallet is often the easiest way:
you sign in with email / socials
you get a working wallet
you can start with small amounts and learn.
Later, when you feel more confident:
you can create a dedicated self-custody wallet
move funds there
and use Qwerti with that wallet instead.
“Can Qwerti or anyone from your team access my wallet or move my funds?”
No.
Qwerti cannot see or store your private keys.
We cannot sign transactions on your behalf in a non-custodial wallet.
Every onchain action requires your explicit confirmation.
For embedded smart wallets, key management is handled by the wallet provider under their own security and privacy model — Qwerti only integrates their SDK.
In short:
Qwerti works with your wallets, not instead of them. You choose whether to connect an existing wallet or create a new embedded smart wallet, and you always stay in control of your assets and approvals.
