Purpose

The primary purpose of the Multi-Account feature in Tonkeeper is to allow users to organize their financial activities into distinct, isolated "buckets." In 2026, many users no longer rely on a single wallet address for everything. By using multiple accounts within the same app, you can maintain separate balances for high-security long-term savings, daily spending, and experimental DeFi interactions. This architectural choice provides a layer of privacy—since different addresses aren't easily linked by casual observers—and ensures that a mistake made in one account (like connecting to a suspicious dApp) does not automatically expose the assets in your others.

Step-by-Step

1. Access the Wallet Menu

Open Tonkeeper and tap on the Current Wallet Name at the top center of the main dashboard. This will open the "Your Wallets" drawer.

2. Add a New Account

Tap the "Add Wallet" button. You will be presented with several options:

• Create New Wallet: Generates a brand-new 24-word recovery phrase.
• Import Existing Wallet: Allows you to enter a phrase from another wallet (like Tonhub or MyTonWallet).
• Watch-only: Track an address without entering a private key.

3. Switch Between Accounts

To switch, simply tap the wallet name at the top again and select the desired account from the list. The app will instantly update to show the balance, history, and collectibles for that specific address.

4. Manage Multi-Wallet Settings

In 2026, you can customize each wallet individually. Go to Settings while an account is active to set unique local passcodes or biometric permissions if you are using the Pro version of the app.

5. Back Up Each Account

Crucial Step: If you created "New Wallets" for each account rather than adding sub-addresses from one phrase, you must write down and secure the 24-word phrase for every account separately. Losing one phrase means losing access to that specific account forever.

Use Case

The "Vault" and "Hot Wallet" Strategy:

A user keeps 90% of their Toncoin in a "Vault" account that they never connect to any websites. They keep the remaining 10% in a "Hot Wallet" account used for daily swaps and airdrop claims. If they accidentally interact with a malicious site using the Hot Wallet, their main savings in the Vault remain untouched.

The Freelance Professional:

A developer receives payments for work in USDT (TON). They use a dedicated "Business" account in Tonkeeper to track these professional payments separately from their "Personal" account, making it significantly easier to calculate taxes and expenses at the end of the year.

Best Results

For the best results in 2026, utilize the Wallet Naming feature. Instead of "Wallet 1" and "Wallet 2," rename them to "Main Savings," "Airdrop Hunting," or "Gaming." This prevents accidental transfers to the wrong internal address. Additionally, if you are a power user, consider using the W5 Wallet standard for your secondary accounts; this allows you to pay gas fees in USDT across all your sub-accounts, which is much more efficient than keeping small amounts of Toncoin in every single wallet for gas.

FAQ

Are these accounts linked to each other on the blockchain?

No. Unless you send funds between them, there is no public record on the blockchain that shows these different addresses belong to the same person or the same Tonkeeper app.

Is there a limit to how many accounts I can add?

In the 2026 version of Tonkeeper, there is no practical limit to the number of wallets you can manage. However, managing more than 10-20 can become difficult for manual backup purposes.

Do I need to pay a fee to create a second account?

Creating an account is free. However, your first transaction out of a new account or a "contract deployment" for a W5 wallet may incur a tiny one-time network fee (usually 0.05 TON or less) to initialize the address on the blockchain.

Disclaimer

Managing multiple accounts increases the responsibility of the user. You must ensure that every unique 24-word recovery phrase is backed up physically. Tonkeeper does not store these phrases for you. If you delete the app and haven't backed up each individual account's phrase, you will only be able to recover the specific wallet for which you have the phrase. This guide applies to the 2026 multi-wallet architecture in Tonkeeper.
