# Delegate Wallet

[Delegate](https://delegate.xyz/) lets you link your primary wallet (or cold wallet) to your secondary wallet (or hot wallet), allowing you to interact with HeyMint *using* the secondary wallet- *without* having to interact using your primary one. This keeps your primary wallet secure while offering convenient access through the secondary one.

*Note: There will be a small on-chain contract interaction fee (for confirming) to call the Delegate function or in simpler terms to activate the delegation. So without further ado, here’s how to delegate*:<br>

### Steps

Step 1: Visit [delegate.xyz](https://delegate.xyz/)

Step 6: Confirm using your cold or main wallet

Step 6.a: (Optional) Click on “Go to my profile” to view an overview of your delegations, revoke delegations, or see your activity

Step 7: Return to HeyMint > Account > My wallets (<https://heymint.xyz/user/wallets>) to connect the delegated wallet

<figure><img src="https://1402073043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPHRJcSxfS9ww6PxcamZo%2Fuploads%2FmzgeG8ecIg8tbRVXgeOv%2FScreenshot%202024-03-02%20at%205.44.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?alt=media&amp;token=8f0723d5-c691-457c-95db-3076d512a749" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Step 8: (For new users who haven’t connected a wallet yet) Click 'Add ETH wallet' to connect your hot or dummy wallet to HeyMint (skip if already connected)

Step 9: Click 'Add ETH wallet' (again after adding a wallet **for the first time**)

Step 10: Select 'Add Delegated wallet'

Step 11: Choose the hot or dummy wallet and chain (the same chain as the NFT required is on)

<figure><img src="https://1402073043-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPHRJcSxfS9ww6PxcamZo%2Fuploads%2FJbyhE4LMYfu1avLUMH8P%2FScreenshot%202024-03-08%20at%209.22.19%E2%80%AFAM.png?alt=media&amp;token=04f23e49-7de3-497b-91c9-96f650555044" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Step 12: Click 'Find wallets'—Delegate will automatically connect your cold or main wallet using the hot or dummy one!&#x20;

You will see it added when you go back to your Account > My wallets in HeyMint.

Step 13: Go to the allowlist registration page of the project, and select your wallet that holds the NFT requirement from the dropdown (you should now see your main wallet listed).

*Note: For the mint wallet, choose whichever wallet you prefer to mint from.*

Step 14: Click “Register” and that’s it!<br>

Note: Delegate isn’t crosschain. Each chain's deployment is completely self-contained, with no dependencies or bridge risk. So, if you want to use a delegated wallet on both Ethereum and Polygon, you'll just need to delegate once on each chain.
