# Withdrawing artworks to a private wallet

By default, artworks are stored in your account within the Verse Custodial Wallet. 

If you prefer, you can set up [private wallet storage](https://helpdesk.verse.works/en/article/connecting-externals-wallets-lqmkez/?bust=1673872679864) to have purchases sent straight there. You can also withdraw works to a private wallet any time. 

Withdrawing is free. You don't need to verify your identity or do any KYC steps. 

Please note that you can't list withdrawn works for sale on Verse, nor will you receive Verse global offers.  

There is currently no way to return a withdrawn work to the custodial wallet.

To withdraw an artwork, navigate to it from your profile Collection and click "Withdraw to private wallet".

Next, enter your wallet address and click "Withdraw".

Please **double check the address**, as this action is irreversible.

Withdrawals usually take a few hours to process; you'll receive an email confirmation when it's done.


You can only withdraw an artwork after it's been minted, which usually happens within a few minutes after the sale ends.
