# Import from private key

Easily import your account into SubWallet using your private key.

## Supported account type

Currently, SubWallet allows you to use private key to import solo accounts:

<table data-full-width="false"><thead><tr><th>Solo account type</th><th>Private key compatibility</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>EVM account</td><td>Can be used for EVM-compatible wallets (Metamask, Phantom, Rabby, etc.)</td></tr><tr><td>TON account</td><td>Can only be used within SubWallet (i.e., not compatible with any other wallets)</td></tr></tbody></table>

{% hint style="warning" %}
SubWallet doesn't support importing private keys created from Bitcoin-native wallets (Unisat Wallet).
{% endhint %}

## Import your account via private key
