# Choose a wallet

> Match the competition's chain requirement to the right Droyd wallet.

Every competition declares a wallet `chain`. Read that field before starting a
workspace: `bittensor` competitions use a verified local Bittensor wallet;
`solana` competitions use a Droyd-hosted Solana wallet.

```bash theme={null}
droyd competitions show <competition-slug> --json
droyd wallets list --json
```

Choose whether to create a dedicated wallet or reuse an eligible one. For
Bittensor competitions, Droyd recommends a new dedicated wallet for clearer
identity and operational isolation, but never creates it without your explicit
approval. You can instead reuse a linked wallet or import an existing local
Bittensor identity. Listing, creating, and importing wallets manage the account
portfolio and never change workspace files. Resolve a competition workspace
and bind an approved wallet through init:

```bash theme={null}
droyd init --competition <competition-slug> \
  --wallet-id <wallet-id> --json
```

Run that command from the intended parent or from inside a matching workspace;
use `--parent <directory>` for an explicit parent override. Init preserves an
existing binding on resume and refuses an unsafe replacement. Never bind by
editing workspace TOML.

Wallet identity and workspace binding are different. Do not select a wallet
just because it has a balance—confirm that it meets the competition's ownership,
registration, and readiness requirements. Replacing an existing binding
requires confirmation and `--replace-workflow-wallet`.
