Integration Methods
The useExportPrivateKey hook will automatically open a popup window where your user can reauthenticate their session and then view and copy the private key for one of their connected wallets.The hook can only be used from within your app’s ParaProvider context. By default, the key exported will be that for the currently selected wallet, available from the useWallet or useWalletState hooks.
import { useExportPrivateKey, useWallet} from "@getpara/react-sdk";
export function App() {
const { data: activeWallet } = useWallet();
const { mutate: exportPrivateKey, isPending } = useExportPrivateKey();
return (
<Button
disabled={isPending}
onClick={() => {
exportPrivateKey({
walletId: activeWallet?.id, // Optional
});
}}
>
Export Private Key
</Button>
);
}
If you are using a custom UI implementation or you would like to control how the portal URL is managed, you can use the client’s exportPrivateKey method directly.import { useClient, useWallet} from "@getpara/react-sdk";
export function App() {
const para = useClient();
const { data: activeWallet } = useWallet();
const [isPending, setIsPending] = useState(false);
return (
<Button
disabled={isPending}
onClick={() => {
setIsPending(true);
para.exportPrivateKey({
shouldOpenPopup: false, // If false, only the URL is created and `popupWindow` will be undefined
walletId: activeWallet?.id, // Optional
})
.then(({ url, popupWindow }) => {
// Do something with the URL and/or popupWindow
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Error exporting private key:', error);
})
.finally(() => {
setIsPending(false);
})
}}
>
Export Private Key
</Button>
);
}
Limitations
Currently, private key export is available for embedded EVM, Cosmos, and Solana wallets. Unclaimed pregenerated wallets and guest mode wallets cannot be exported.
After a pregenerated wallet is claimed, it is no longer app-managed and can use the same export flow as other embedded wallets.
EVM and Cosmos wallets share a key scheme, so an exported key from either works on both chains. Solana wallets use a different scheme (ED25519), so an exported Solana key only works with Solana wallets — you can re-import it at connect.getpara.com/import, or self-host the tool from its open-source repo at getpara/solana-import.
