How to Import a Watch Address

What is a Watch Address?

Note: If you set up a wallet and saw the in-app banner that links to this page you may have been targeted by a scammer. Please reach out to our support team for assistance.

A Watch Address is basically the receiving address or wallet address. Importing any supported Cryptocurrency address will allow you to view the tokens and collectibles, as well as transactions associated with the said address. When importing your address, you cannot do any transactions with the wallet.

This can be a great way to keep an eye on your funds in any wallet, but especially a cold wallet while still keeping the private keys off the internet.
