# Wallet Setup

How to setup a wallet.

Banana Gun lets you create, import, and manage both **SOL** and **EVM** wallets from the same bot. 

## You can set up wallets in two ways:

* Create a wallet in Banana Gun.
* Import an existing wallet using a private key.

**Note:** When you create or import an EVM wallet, the same wallet address is used on all EVM chains supported by Banana Gun (ETH, BASE, BNB, MEGAETH, ARC, STABLE, and ROBINHOOD).
