**Important Note:**

Please make sure to **back up your private key** securely. If you lose access to it, you may lose access to your funds permanently. Click.Trade cannot recover lost private keys, so it’s essential to store it in a safe place, such as a password manager or hardware wallet.

We recommend avoiding storing your private key digitally in places prone to unauthorized access, and always keep multiple secure backups.

4. **Approve Trading Intent** — one-time approval to enable trading
5. **Fund Your Wallet** — link to [Fund Your Wallet](https://docs.click.trade/getting-started/fund-your-wallet) page

We recommend that you import your recovery phrases into a standard wallet like Phantom, Rabby, Solflare, etc.. This will ensure that you always have direct access to your funds under any circumstances.
