# Transfer from Hot Wallet to Treasury Wallet

Transferring funds from your [Hot Wallet](https://docs.pay.io/assets/hot-wallet) to your [Treasury Wallet](https://docs.pay.io/assets/treasury-wallet) is the primary way to secure surplus balances and protect your profits. Whilst this process can be automated via sweep thresholds, you can also initiate a manual transfer at any time directly from the Hot Wallet page.

{% hint style="info" %}
To automate this process, configure a sweep threshold for each asset so that any balance exceeding your defined maximum is transferred to Treasury automatically. See [Setting up Sweeps and Alerts](https://docs.pay.io/assets/setting-up-sweeps-and-alerts) for guidance.
{% endhint %}

#### Prerequisites

* Your Treasury Wallet has been set up and confirmed. See [Treasury Wallet](https://docs.pay.io/assets/treasury-wallet/..#setting-up-the-treasury-wallet-admin-only) for the one-time setup steps.
* Your Hot Wallet holds a positive balance for the asset you wish to transfer.

### Making a Transfer

{% step %}

### **Navigate to the Hot Wallet Page**

From the left-hand navigation, select **Hot Wallet**. Here you will see your current balances across all configured assets and networks. 

Click the **“Transfer to Treasury Wallet”** button to begin.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Select Your Token and Network**

A modal window will appear. Use the dropdowns to select:

* **Token** as the cryptocurrency or stablecoin you wish to transfer (e.g., USDT, BTC, ETH).
* **Network** as the blockchain network over which the transfer will be made (e.g., Tron, Ethereum, Polygon).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Enter the Transfer Amount**

Specify the amount you wish to move to your Treasury Wallet. You can either:

* **Enter an amount manually** in the input field — the total is expressed in crypto, with a live fiat conversion rate displayed beneath the field for reference, or
* **Select a predefined percentage** of your available balance — choose from the quick-select options to calculate the transfer amount automatically based on your current Hot Wallet holdings.

{% hint style="info" %}
The fiat conversion displayed beneath the input field updates in **real time based on the current market rate for the selected asset**. Use this as a reference to gauge the value of the transfer without needing to calculate it manually.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Ensure you retain sufficient funds in your Hot Wallet to cover ongoing player withdrawals after the transfer**.&#x20;

Moving too large a proportion of your float to Treasury may disrupt payout operations.&#x20;

See [Float Set-Up and Maintenance](https://docs.pay.io/assets/float-set-up-and-maintenance) for guidance on managing your operational balance.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Execute the Transfer**

Once you are satisfied with the amount, click the **“Transfer”** button to execute. The funds will be moved from your Hot Wallet to your Treasury Wallet and will appear in your Treasury balance once the required network confirmations have been reached.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Confirmation times vary by network.** You can monitor the status of the transfer in the **Merchant Transaction** section, or by looking up the transaction hash on the relevant block explorer.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
