Sub-accounts allow you to have separate wallets. In other words, your original META VOULT plus more additional wallets or sub-accounts.

To be more technical, with sub-accounts you can create additional consolidated multi-blockchain wallets that are derived from your seed.

You might want to have, for example, a savings account, a personal account and a rainy day sub-account. You can also have an account for different trading strategies e.g. HODL, DCA (dollar cost averaging) or daily trading. The choice is yours.

1. Go to 'Wallets' tab → tap on your balance (default is Sub-Account 1)
2. Create a new sub-account → tap the green plus '+' button in the lower right corner of the screen, then tap 'Done'
3. Create additional sub-accounts if needed by tapping the green plus '+' button in the lower right corner of the screen again

1. Go to 'Wallets' tab → tap on your balance (default is Sub-Account 1)
2. Access sub-account options → tap the ⚙️ icon next to Sub-Account 1
3. Rename your sub-account → tap 'Name', enter a new name, and tap 'Done'

Not exactly. You can transfer your balances to other sub-accounts and then use the Archive button in Services > Sub-Accounts > ⚙️ > Archive

NOTE: You cannot archive an active account.

1. Ensure you have multiple sub-accounts set up (refer to 'How can I create a sub-account')
2. Go to 'Services' tab → 'Sub-Accounts'
3. Tap on the sub-account you wish to make active
- The system will automatically return you to the previous screen (Services or Wallets tab)
4. You can also access all sub-accounts directly by tapping on your balance at the top of the 'Wallets' tab

Note:
- Switching active accounts allows you to manage multiple portfolios easily from your main screen

One of the key benefits of sub-accounts is the ability to easily transfer assets, such as Bitcoin, between your main/active sub-account and another sub-account, like your savings sub-account.

For example, to send Bitcoin between Sub-Account 1 and Sub-Account 2:

1. Go to 'Wallets' tab → select Send
2. On the 'Send' screen, choose Sub-Accounts and select the sub-account to send to
3. Enter the amount of Bitcoin (BTC) to send (toggle between fiat or BTC if needed)
4. Choose your transaction fee speed
5. Tap the green button to complete the transaction

META VOULT will not charge you any fees for transferring between sub-accounts. However, you will pay blockchain fees depending on the transaction speed you select.

You can access sub-account settings by tapping the ⚙️ icon next to each sub-account.

Here are your options for each sub-account:

- Name: Label the sub-account name to anything you like or choose from our prefill options.
- Creation Date: View the date the sub-account was created.
- Enable Contacts: This toggle switch is relevant if you use META VOULT contacts to transact with other users. When toggled to green, this sub-account becomes your default account for all inbound crypto from users who have added their phone number to META VOULT.
- Archive: This feature is available for sub-accounts that are not set as the main active account and where the Default Sub-Account toggle is not selected.
- Advanced options: Your private keys and derivation paths.

Your seed phrase is your master access key to all your sub-accounts and the entire META VOULT ecosystem. Each private key is subordinate to the seed phrase and is derived from it.
