[Contact Dfns](https://support.dfns.co) to have it activated. Dfns secures private keys by generating them as MPC key shares in our decentralized key management network. This happens by default when you [create a wallet](https://docs.dfns.co/api-reference/wallets/create-wallet). In some circumstances, however, you may need to import an existing wallet (an existing private key) into Dfns infrastructure, instead of creating a brand new wallet with Dfns and transfer funds to it. As an example, you might want to keep an existing wallet if its address is tied to a smart contract which you don't want to re-deploy. In such a case, Dfns exposes this wallet import API endpoint, which can be used in conjunction with our [import SDK](https://github.com/dfns/dfns-sdk-ts/tree/m/examples/sdk/import-wallet). Note this is intended to be used only to migrate wallets when first onboarding onto the Dfns platform. Dfns can not guarantee the security of imported wallets, as we have no way to control who had access to the private key prior to import. For this reason, this feature is restricted to Enterprise customers who have signed a contractual addendum limiting our liability for imported keys. Please contact your sales representative for more information. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.yaml post /wallets/import openapi: 3.1.0 info: version: 1.807.0 title: Dfns servers: - url: https://api.dfns.io description: Default - Europe - url: https://api.uae.dfns.io description: UAE - url: https://api.dfns.ninja description: Staging security: [] paths: /wallets/import: post: tags: - Wallets summary: Import Wallet description: > This endpoint is not enabled by default.
