-
Monero treats each account holistically. Even if funds are sent from a subaddress, the account’s primary address may become marked as "used" after a transaction.
-
This does not compromise privacy — 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.
🏷️ Address Labelling
Create a new subaddress with a label:
address new <label>-
Example:
address new exchange_withdrawal
View all addresses and their labels:
address allChange an existing label:
address label <index> <new label>-
Index is the number listed with
address all(e.g.,1).
🧷 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"
