How do I import my wallet address into Metamask or another wallet app?

Take your NFTs anywhere by adding your Hub Wallet to your favorite wallet app.

When you create an account on an NFT marketplace a new Hub Wallet (with an Ethereum wallet address) is created and associated to the account. This makes it easy to visit the NFT Marketplace and log in using your credentials to view your NFTs.

To add the NFTs in your Hub Wallet to your favorite wallet app (eg Metamask), you will need to:

  1. Export your Private Key from the Hub Wallet
  2. Import your Private Key to your wallet app (eg Metamask)
  3. Activate the Polygon blockchain on your wallet app (if not already active)

Exporting your Private Key

  1. Visit the NFT Hub website and log into your account
  2. On the navbar, click the menu icon (≡) and select Manage Wallets
  3. Under the Hub Wallet you will see a string of numbers and letters - This is the public address of your wallet

  4. The Private Key of your Hub Wallet can be revealed by clicking the key icon next to the "Private Key" label below the public address.
