# From a Hardware Wallet

There are a variety of hardware wallet solutions that the community have used in the past to store MAID, and all may need slightly different approaches depending on how they are set up, and whether you have any other crypto assets stored on the wallet at the same time.

There are two broad solutions though

### Use Your Private Key

Similar to the approach for those with [Paper Wallets](/how-to-convert-maid/from-a-paper-wallet.md), you can Import Private Key into a new OmniWallet, and then continue with the [OmniWallet steps](/how-to-convert-maid/from-omniwallet.md) from there.

### Send to a new OmniWallet

Or, if you don't want to expose your Private Key—should you still have other crypto assets stored on your device for example—then another solution is to create a new OmniWallet, and send your MAID to it (and some BTC for gas), and proceed from there.
