# Wallet creation and management

> Create wallets with address sharing, add networks to existing wallets, and understand automatic deposit detection.

When you create a new wallet on a network that supports address sharing (EVM, SPL, and Tendermint networks), you can choose whether to use the address on a single network, all compatible networks, or a selected subset.

<Note>
  Existing wallets are not affected by this flow. Wallets created before this update are preserved and continue to work as before.
</Note>

## Creating a new wallet

### On the web dashboard

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start wallet creation">
    Click **Create wallet**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the network">
    Select the network and click **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose address sharing (if supported)">
    If the selected network supports address sharing, choose how you want to use the address:

    * **Use address for selected network only** (default) — Creates a wallet with a unique address on the selected network. No other networks are affected.
    * **Use address for all compatible networks** — Creates the same wallet address across every compatible network Anchorage Digital supports. One shared address, multiple wallets.
    * **Use address only for selected compatible networks** — Creates the same wallet address on a subset of networks you choose.

    Click **Continue**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the wallet and confirm">
    Optionally give the new wallet or wallets a name, then select **Create wallet**. Your new wallet is ready for deposits and withdrawals and will appear in the table sorted by creation date.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### On iOS

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the asset">
    On the vault page, tap the asset, then tap the icon to create a new wallet and follow the prompts.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose address sharing (if supported)">
    For wallets on address-sharing networks, select how you want to use the address:

    * **Use address for \[network] only** (default) — Creates a wallet with a unique address on the selected network. No other networks are affected.
    * **Use address for all compatible networks** — Creates the same wallet address across every compatible network Anchorage Digital supports.
    * **Use address only for selected compatible networks** — Creates the same wallet address on a subset of networks you choose.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Tap **Continue** to create the wallet.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Bulk wallet creation

On the web dashboard, you can create up to 25 new addresses at once with the **Create Wallet** flow. Select how many new addresses you'd like to create, then proceed to select sharing options and continue.

## Adding new networks to an existing wallet

You can extend an existing wallet's address onto additional compatible networks at any time. This applies to wallets on EVM, SPL, and Tendermint networks.

### On the web dashboard

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open wallet details">
    On the vault page, click the wallet to open its details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a network">
    Click the **Network** dropdown and select **Add network**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select networks and confirm">
    Select one or more compatible networks from the list, then click **Create**. The new networks appear under the dropdown once the wallets are created. Each network shares the same address but maintains its own balances and assets.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### On iOS

Navigate to the wallet details page and tap the more menu. Select **Add network**, select one or more compatible networks to enable, and confirm.

## Automatic deposit detection

Deposits to a shared address are detected automatically, even on networks where you haven't yet created a wallet.

When a deposit arrives on a compatible network where the address already exists for another network, Anchorage Digital:

1. Detects the balance on the shared address.
2. Runs spam attribution on the deposit.
3. Creates a wallet on the new network using the shared address, if the deposit is not attributed as spam.
4. Displays the incoming deposit in the newly created wallet, visible on the Operations page.

The new network appears in the **Network** dropdown on the wallet details page with its balance visible. System-created wallets are labeled to distinguish them from wallets you created yourself.

<Note>
  Spam deposits don't generate new wallets. Auto-creation only occurs after a deposit clears spam attribution.
