# Create or Import a Burner Wallet

The burner wallet is a “disposable wallet,” that will be created for your Checker Node Client. The sole purpose of a burner wallet is to receive NFT delegation in order to earn rewards for the Owner wallet of the NFT. Since no on-chain transactions are required from the burner wallet, you do not, and should not transfer any tokens into the burner wallet.

You can either create a new burner wallet or import the wallet from a previous Checker Client.

#### **Linux CLI**

* Create a burner wallet <mark style="color:red;">`aethir wallet create`</mark>

#### **Windows GUI**

#### Register New Burner Wallet

If you create a new burner wallet, the address will not be registered in the Checker System, until an owner [initiates the delegation process](/checker-guide/how-to-manage-checker-nodes/delegate-and-undelegate.md#delegate) to that address.

{% hint style="info" %}
The register process may take **up to 5 minutes** on the backend after the burner wallet receives a delegation.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
There is a rate limit on the register endpoint, allowing one request per minute per IP. Exceeding this limit will result in the IP being blacklisted for the day.
{% endhint %}

Before the wallet is registered, you:

* cannot establish websocket connection to the Checker System;&#x20;
* cannot use the following commands:
  * <mark style="color:red;">`aethir license [additional commands][parameters]`</mark>
  * <mark style="color:red;">`aethir setting capacity [value]`</mark>
