๐งพ Creating and Managing Additional Accounts for Transaction Segmentation in Monero Wallet
โ Create a New Account
account new <label>
-
Example:
account new donations
๐ท๏ธ Create and Label a Subaddress
address new <label>
-
Example:
address new Dev_Team
๐ Assign a Tag to an Account
account tag <tag_name> <account_index>
-
Example:
account tag donate 1
๐ Set a Tag Description
account tag_description <tag_name> <description>
-
Example:
account tag_description donate "Donations to causes and projects"
๐ธ Send Funds from Account 0 to Account 1
First, switch to account 0 (if not already selected):
account switch 0
Then send funds to the Dev Team subaddress in account 1:
transfer <destination_address> <amount>
-
Example:
transfer 88xkUv...xyz 0.04
๐ Notes on Monero Account and Address Behaviour
-
Monero treats each account holistically. Even if funds are sent from a subaddress, the accountโs primary address may become marked as "used" after a transaction.
-
This does not compromise privacy โ it simply reflects internal wallet indexing.
-
Using subaddresses for sending/receiving helps keep your financial metadata compartmentalised.
-
New accounts can be used to segregate funds for donations, savings, or specific activities.
๐ท๏ธ Address Labelling
Create a new subaddress with a label:
address new <label>
-
Example:
address new exchange_withdrawal
View all addresses and their labels:
address all
Change an existing label:
address label <index> <new label>
-
Index is the number listed with
address all
(e.g.,1
).
๐งท Tag Management
Assign a tag to a specific account index:
account tag <tag_name> <account_index>
-
Example:
account tag personal 0
Set a description for a tag:
account tag_description <tag_name> <description>`
-
Example:
account tag_description personal "casual spending"
