Multi-Wallet Feature
This guide is based on D’CENT mobile app version 8.1.0.
Please update the D'CENT mobile app to the latest version before using it.
The Multi-Wallet feature lets you manage multiple cold wallets (Biometric Wallets and Card Wallets) and App Wallets from a single mobile phone. For example, you can keep 2 Biometric Wallets, 3 Card Wallets, and 2 App Wallets registered on the same phone.
To use the Multi-Wallet feature, make sure your D'CENT mobile app is updated to the latest version.
Wallet Management Button
You can quickly switch to another wallet by tapping the "Wallet Management" button (Registered Wallets) at the top left of the My Wallet tab.
When you tap the "Wallet Management" button, the following list appears, based on the wallets you have registered:
If no wallets are registered yet, or if you want to add another wallet (Biometric Wallet, Card Wallet, or App Wallet), tap the "Manage All Wallets" button.
For instructions on how to add each type of wallet, please refer to the user guide below.
- Biometric Wallet (Android)
- Biometric Wallet (iPhone)
- Card Wallet (All-in-One Wallet)
- App Wallet (Software)
Changing to Another Wallet
When several wallets are registered, pick the wallet you want and tap "Change". The "My Wallet" tab will reload the portfolio and account information for the selected wallet mode, and the "Wallet Management" button at the top left will show the currently active wallet type.
When a Biometric Wallet is selected, the Wallet Management button in the top-left corner of the "My Wallet" tab shows "My D'CENT".
A Bluetooth icon also appears in the top-right corner so you can connect your cold wallet quickly.
When a Card Wallet is selected, it appears as "DCENT-CARD-WALLET".
When an App Wallet is selected, it appears as "App Wallet".
Managing Multiple Wallets
If multiple wallets (Biometric Wallets, Card Wallets, or App Wallets) are registered on the same mobile device, you can switch between them at any time using the "Wallet Management" button.
1) Tap the "Wallet Management" button at the top-left corner of the "My Wallet" tab.
2) From the list of registered wallets, select the wallet (Biometric Wallet, Card Wallet, or App Wallet) you want to switch to.
3) When the "Would you like to switch wallet?" pop-up appears, tap "Change".
4) The "My Wallet" tab updates to show the portfolio and account information of the selected wallet.
You can also manage your wallets more efficiently by renaming each wallet based on its purpose or owner.
(e.g., Wallet01, BTConly, MyAssets, ETHwallet, etc.)

Deleting Wallets
Starting from D'CENT mobile app version 8.1.0, you can delete any registered wallet directly inside the app. This makes it easier to remove wallets you no longer use.
You can open the delete option by tapping the More (⋮) button in the Settings tab, or by selecting the wallet you want to delete from the Manage All Wallets menu.
The warning message shown during deletion depends on the wallet type (Biometric Wallet, Card Wallet, or App Wallet).
Please refer to the guide below before deleting a wallet to avoid potential asset loss:
- Biometric Wallet: After deletion, reconnect the cold wallet via Bluetooth and all previously used accounts will be restored automatically.
- Card Wallet: After deletion, you can re-scan the card to register it again, but you will need to manually re-add any previously used accounts to see your assets.
- App Wallet: Before deleting, make sure your mnemonic phrase is backed up. Without a backup, your wallet and assets cannot be recovered. To restore the wallet, use the Import Wallet feature, enter your backed-up mnemonic phrase, and then re-add your previous accounts.
