# BYO wallets

> Register any existing EVM wallet address — Prudra monitors for deposits without holding custody.

## BYO wallets

A BYO (Bring Your Own) wallet lets you register an existing EVM wallet address with Prudra. Prudra monitors the address for incoming deposits using blockchain address monitoring and maintains a balance view — but it never holds the private key and cannot initiate transactions.

BYO wallets are the simplest path to receiving payments. If you already have an EVM wallet, register its address and you're receiving Prudra payments in minutes.

## How BYO wallets work

```mermaid theme={null}

    A[External sender] -->|sends tokens| B[Your wallet address]

    C -->|webhook| D[Prudra API]
    D -->|WalletTransaction created| E[Balance updated]
    D -->|deposit.success webhook| F[Your webhook endpoint]
```

Prudra never signs transactions on behalf of BYO wallets. It only monitors — reads the blockchain and fires webhooks when deposits arrive.

## AML screening

When you register a BYO wallet, Prudra performs an AML (Anti-Money Laundering) screening check against OFAC and FBI watchlists. The registration status is briefly `pending` while screening runs, then moves to `active` if no flags are found.

A flagged address is rejected — the wallet cannot be registered. Contact [support@prudra.com](mailto:support@prudra.com) if you believe your address was incorrectly flagged.
