Once you create your Status profile, you automatically get a Status Wallet account. You can create extra accounts if you want to. For example, you can save towards specific goals or keep track of your short-term and long-term token investments.

Each account has a different Ethereum address. This means that to transfer crypto between your accounts, you need to send crypto to them the same way as you would send it to someone else's wallet.

info
To import your existing crypto account, check out Import an account into your Status Wallet.

  • By default, Status uses the master key (key pair) associated with your Status profile as the new account origin.
  • You can change the account origin to an existing recovery phrase, private key or a new master key.
  • A master key in your Wallet can control multiple accounts, each linked to the same recovery phrase.
