Sub-wallets let you create multiple addresses from one seed phrase so you can separate balances—for example spending vs long-term holding—without managing many recovery phrases.
Quick answer
In My Wallet, sub-wallets are extra addresses derived from your existing seed. You switch between them in the app. They improve organization; they are not a substitute for phishing awareness.
Why people use sub-wallets
| Use case | Example |
|---|---|
| Separation | Keep trading funds apart from savings |
| Privacy habit | Avoid reusing one address everywhere |
| Projects | Isolate airdrop/experiment balances |
| Clarity | Cleaner history per purpose |

What sub-wallets do not change
