This guide covers how to create and manage wallets using the Dfns dashboard, including adding networks, using tags, and viewing wallet details.

## Creating a wallet

1. Navigate to **Wallets** in the sidebar
2. Click **Create Wallet**
3. Select the network for your wallet (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon, Bitcoin)
4. Enter a name for the wallet
5. Click **Create**

The wallet is created and you'll see its address and details.

<Info>
  Dfns uses MPC (Multi-Party Computation) to secure your wallets. There's no single private key - the signing capability is distributed across multiple secure nodes.
</Info>

## Adding a network to an existing wallet

If your wallet's key supports multiple networks (e.g., EVM chains share the same key type), you can add additional networks:

1. Navigate to **Wallets** and select the wallet
2. Click **Add Network**
3. Select the network to add
4. Confirm the addition

The wallet will have a new address on the selected network, derived from the same underlying key.

<Note>
  Not all networks are compatible with all key types. The dashboard only shows networks that are compatible with your wallet's key.
</Note>

## Naming and tagging wallets

### Renaming a wallet

1. Navigate to **Wallets** and select the wallet
2. Click the wallet name (or the edit icon next to it)
3. Enter the new name
4. Save changes

### Adding tags

Tags help you organize wallets and target them with policies.

1. Navigate to **Wallets** and select the wallet
2. Click the wallet name to edit
3. Add tags in the tags field (e.g., `treasury`, `hot-wallet`, `operations`)
4. Save changes

<Tip>
  Use consistent tag naming across your organization. Common patterns include:

  * By function: `treasury`, `operations`, `payroll`
  * By risk level: `cold-storage`, `warm-wallet`, `hot-wallet`
  * By network: `eth-mainnet`, `polygon`, `testnet`
</Tip>

## Filtering wallets

Use filters to find specific wallets:

1. Navigate to **Wallets**
2. Click the filter icon
3. Filter by:
   * **Tags** - Show wallets with specific tags
   * **Network** - Show wallets on specific networks
   * **Status** - Show active or inactive wallets

## Viewing wallet details

Click on any wallet to see:

* **Address** - The wallet's blockchain address
* **Networks** - All networks associated with this wallet
* **Assets** - Token balances across all networks
* **History** - Transaction history (incoming and outgoing)
* **Tags** - Tags assigned to this wallet

### Viewing balances

The **Assets** tab shows:

* Native token balance (ETH, MATIC, etc.)
* ERC-20 token balances
* NFTs (on supported networks)

Balances are fetched from the blockchain and may take a moment to load.

### Viewing transaction history

The **History** tab shows:

* All incoming and outgoing transactions
* Transaction status (pending, confirmed, failed)
* Links to block explorers

Use filters to narrow by:

* Direction (In/Out)
* Date range
* Status

## Exporting wallet history

To export transaction history for a wallet:

1. Navigate to **Wallets** and select the wallet
2. Go to the **History** tab
3. Apply any filters needed
4. Click **Export** to download a CSV
