# Operator wallets

Source: https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/console/platform-admin/operator-wallets
Read the native balance of every operator wallet the platform tracks, see which ones run low, and know which wallet to fund on which network.

**Operator wallets** lists the operator wallets the platform pays network fees from, with the native balance last observed for each on its network. A wallet appears here once the deployment configuration names it. The view is read-only: it has no control to fund, register or remove a wallet.

Read it to find the wallet that runs low before a transaction waits for funds. [Operator wallet](https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/concepts/custody-and-signing/operator-wallet) explains why the platform keeps these wallets and what happens when one empties.

[Screenshot] The "Operator wallets" page with the "Platform wallets" table of each wallet's address, status, purpose, network and native balance.

A funding hint sits under the "Platform wallets" heading. The table columns are "Address", "Status", "Purpose", "Network" and "Native balance". Each row shows the wallet's address with its purpose under it. The rows start with the lowest balance.

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

- You need the platform administrator role. It is set on your account, not in one organisation, and an organisation **Owner** does not have it.
- The wallets are registered when the platform is deployed. If the table is empty, the deployment configuration registers no operator wallet, and the page reads "No operator wallets yet" and "Ask your platform engineer to register operator wallets in the deployment configuration so the platform can track them."

## Steps [#steps]

### Open Operator wallets [#open-operator-wallets]

Open "Platform admin", then **Operator wallets**. The page shows the "Platform wallets" table. Under the heading, a line says "Low balance uses the network's native currency mark. Ask platform operations to fund the wallet address on its network."

### Find the wallet that runs low [#find-the-wallet-that-runs-low]

The table starts with the lowest "Native balance", so a wallet that needs funding is at the top. Read the **Status** of each row:

| Status | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| **Low balance** | The native balance is below the network's low-balance mark, which is a tenth of one native unit. |
| **Balance above threshold** | The native balance is at or above that mark. |
| **Not needed (zero gas)** | The network charges no gas, so the wallet needs no balance. |
| **Not observed yet** | The platform has not read this wallet's balance on its network yet. |

The mark is the same fraction on every network. It does not estimate how many transactions the balance covers.

The **Network** column names the network and its chain ID. The "Native balance" column shows the balance in the network's native currency, or "Not observed yet".

### Open a wallet's details [#open-a-wallets-details]

Select a row to expand it. The detail shows the wallet's "Purpose", "Observed at" with the block of the reading when the platform has one, and the full **Address** with a copy control. Use the address to send the funds on the network the row names.

### Export or adjust the table [#export-or-adjust-the-table]

Use the table toolbar to export the rows or to choose which columns show. The table has no search or filter. On a narrow window the **Address** cell also carries the network, balance, status and observation time of the wallet.

## You should see [#you-should-see]

- After the funding transfer lands and the platform reads the new balance, the row shows the higher "Native balance", a newer "Observed at" in its detail, and **Balance above threshold** as its "Status".
- The row shows the old balance until the platform reads the new one.

## Troubleshooting [#troubleshooting]

**Operator wallets is missing from the sidebar**

The entry appears only for a platform administrator. Ask a platform administrator to change your platform role on
[Platform users](https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/console/platform-admin/users).

**The table says No operator wallets yet**

The deployment configuration registers no operator wallet. Ask the platform engineer to register the wallets there.
This page cannot add one.

**A wallet shows Not observed yet**

The platform has not read a balance for that wallet on its network. The **Native balance** and "Observed at" show "Not
observed yet" until it does.

**A wallet shows Low balance**

Fund the wallet's address on the network the row names. The funding transfer is made outside the Console, and
[Operator
wallet](https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/concepts/custody-and-signing/operator-wallet#watching-the-balance-and-what-a-low-reading-means) explains
what a low reading means and when an alert fires.

## API routes [#api-routes]

The table reads `GET /api/v2/admin/operator-wallets`, which only a platform administrator can call. The [Platform API reference](https://docs.settlemint.com/docs/api-reference/v2) has the request and response shapes.
