Search and filter accounts

Type in the search field to match account names or SS58 addresses. Filter chips sit below the search line: Pure, Proxy, Multisig, Ledger, Vault, Watch. A chip appears only when at least one account of that type exists. Tap All to clear filters.

Use the context menu on an account

On most account types, long-press or open the three-dot menu to:

• Rename - change the local label (not stored on-chain)
• Pin or Unpin - pinned accounts show in the home screen account switcher
• Copy Address - copy the SS58 address
• View on Explorer - open the account on tao.app (Finney only)
• Show in Portfolio or Hide from Portfolio - control visibility in Portfolio
• Remove from Wallet - drop the account from local storage (chain state is unchanged)

Type-specific items are documented on each account page below.

1. Generate New - fresh mnemonic account. See Software.
