Managing multiple cryptocurrency addresses efficiently is essential for traders, investors, and blockchain developers. One powerful feature that enhances wallet organization and security is the sub-wallet function. This guide walks you through how to create sub-wallets in TokenPocket across various blockchains and platforms, including BSC, TRON, and HD wallets on both Android and iOS devices.
Whether you're handling multiple transactions, managing team funds, or simply organizing personal assets, sub-wallets offer a structured way to separate balances without needing additional seed phrases.
Why Use Sub-Wallets?
Sub-wallets are derived from your primary wallet’s mnemonic phrase using hierarchical deterministic (HD) technology. They share the same recovery phrase but generate unique addresses for different purposes. This means:
- You can create multiple addresses under one master wallet.
- All sub-wallets are securely linked to your original backup.
- Ideal for batch management, accounting segmentation, or automated systems.

Supported Chains & Requirements
TokenPocket currently supports sub-wallet creation on:
- EVM-compatible chains: Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.
- TRON (TRX) network
- HD Wallets with multi-chain support
🔐 Prerequisite: Only wallets created or imported via mnemonic phrase can use the sub-wallet feature. Private key-only wallets do not support this function.
Creating Sub-Wallets on Android
For BSC Chain
- Open your BSC wallet in TokenPocket.
- Tap the blue card, then click the 【Details】 button in the top-right corner.
- Go to 【Advanced Mode】 > 【Create Sub-Wallet】.
- View existing sub-wallet history in the list. Tap 【Generate New Wallet】 > 【Batch Add Wallet】.
- Choose the number of sub-wallets (up to 200 per batch).
- Confirm and enter your password. The system will generate new addresses instantly.
✅ Your newly created sub-wallets appear in the wallet list with sequential numbering and derivation paths.
For TRON Chain
The process mirrors BSC:
- Navigate to your TRON wallet, tap 【Details】.
- Enter 【Advanced Mode】, select 【Create Sub-Wallet】.
- Click 【Generate New Wallet】 > 【Batch Add Wallet】.
- Select up to 200 addresses, confirm, and input your password.
All generated TRON sub-wallets follow the same HD path logic and can be tracked within the app.
HD Wallet Sub-Wallet Creation
- From the main screen, open any wallet card and tap 【Details】.
- Tap the small icon in the upper-right to enter HD Wallet Management.
- Switch to 【Advanced Mode】, then choose 【Create Sub-Wallet】.
You’ll see two options:
- Single Chain Addition: Add sub-wallets for one chain at a time.
- Batch Addition: Select multiple existing chains to simultaneously add one sub-wallet per chain.
Example: If you select BSC, ETH, and MATIC, each will receive one new sub-wallet after confirmation.
After creation, each new wallet displays its name, derivation path (e.g., m/44'/60'/0'/0/1), and public address.
Creating Sub-Wallets on iOS
Standard Sub-Wallet Setup
- Launch TokenPocket and tap 【Details】 on any wallet card.
- Tap 【Advanced Mode】, then select 【Add Sub-Wallet】.
- In the sub-wallet list, view previous creations or tap 【Add Sub-Wallet】 again.
Choose between:
- Add Single Wallet
- Batch Add Wallet
- Set the desired quantity (max 200), tap 【Confirm Add】, and authenticate with your password.
📌 The wallet path ends with an index number (e.g., /0, /1, /2) indicating creation order—this helps track usage.
HD Wallet: Multi-Chain Sub-Wallet Management
- Open your HD Wallet, go to 【Details】 > 【HD Management】 > 【Add Wallet】.
This interface allows you to:
- Generate sub-wallets for chains not yet active in your wallet (e.g., Arbitrum One).
- Add new sub-wallets to already-supported chains.
- Multi-select is available for EVM chains only.
- Each selected chain receives one additional sub-wallet per operation.
Once confirmed, new entries appear in your wallet list with full path visibility.

How to Import and Use Sub-Wallets
There are three reliable methods to access your sub-wallets across devices or apps:
1. Private Key Import
If you’ve backed up the private key of a specific sub-wallet:
- Go to Import Wallet in any compatible app.
- Select Private Key as the method.
- Paste the key and restore access immediately.
⚠️ Never share or store private keys insecurely.
2. Re-Creation Method
Since sub-wallet addresses are deterministically generated based on sequence:
- Using the same mnemonic, re-create the wallet in TokenPocket.
- Generate sub-wallets in the same order — they will match exactly.
This method is useful when migrating or recovering access without individual backups.
3. Derivation Path Import (Advanced)
Use this when importing via mnemonic:
- During wallet import, choose Mnemonic Phrase.
- Tap 【Advanced Mode】 before finalizing.
- Manually set the derivation path by modifying the last index (e.g., change
m/44'/60'/0'/0/0tom/44'/60'/0'/0/5for the 6th sub-wallet). - The app generates the exact matching address.
Tip: If unsure about the path, use method #2 (re-creation) for accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I create more than 200 sub-wallets?
A: Yes — while each batch is limited to 200, you can run multiple batches sequentially to scale into thousands of addresses.
Q: Are sub-wallets safe? Do they share funds?
A: Sub-wallets are cryptographically isolated. Each has its own address and balance. Funds aren’t shared unless manually transferred.
Q: What happens if I lose my main wallet’s mnemonic?
A: Since all sub-wallets derive from the master seed, losing it means losing access to every sub-wallet. Always back up securely.
Q: Can I use sub-wallets on non-EVM chains like Solana or Bitcoin?
A: Currently, TokenPocket’s batch sub-wallet feature supports EVM and TRON chains only. HD wallets may allow manual derivation on others.
Q: Is there a fee to create sub-wallets?
A: No — creation is free and occurs off-chain. Fees apply only when sending transactions from these wallets.
Q: Can I delete a sub-wallet?
A: Not directly — but you can stop using it. As long as no funds remain, inactive wallets pose no risk.
Final Tips for Effective Sub-Wallet Use
- Label your sub-wallets clearly (e.g., “Marketing Budget – Q3” or “Exchange Deposit”).
- Use them for automated payout systems or airdrop distributions.
- Integrate with accounting software by exporting transaction histories per wallet.
- Regularly audit balances to avoid fund fragmentation.
With proper organization, sub-wallets become a powerful tool for both personal finance and enterprise-level blockchain operations.
