# Shared
A **Shared address** is one for which both the user and the wallet **each hold a** [**private key**](/knowledge-base/glossary.md#private-key). This type of address can be created in a few different ways, making it flexible for various needs and setups.
**The first way** a **Shared address** can be set up is **by** [**importing**](/walletium-object/address-management/importing.md) it into the wallet in few easy steps. This is done by providing access to the [**private key**](/knowledge-base/glossary.md#private-key), either immediately or later. Once you transfer the address to the wallet, the [**Private address**](/walletium-object/address-types/private.md) becomes **Shared**, allowing you to fully manage it through our interface.
**Another way** to establish a **Shared address** is by **requesting the generation** of a **Shared address** while maintaining the privacy of your key.
**Alternatively**, you can **request the key to your** [**Deposit address**](/walletium-object/address-types/deposit.md) (in this way transferring it to the **Shared** category).
***
In any of these cases, the owner **grants access to the funds, allowing the full use of the** [**Walletium's** ](https://t.me/walletiumbot)**capabilities.** At your request, funds from this address can easily be transferred, whether into an envelope, to another user, or to [**Walletium Native address**](/walletium-object/address-types/native.md), allowing you to **fully engage with our platform. Until then, it serves as a convenient and secure way to store small to medium amounts.**
