Magic Eden has improved the way you can add accounts to your app, offering multiple options for enhanced flexibility and security. This guide will walk you through each step of the process.
How to add a new account to your Magic Eden App
Access the account menu
Open your Magic Eden App and click the Account icon or name in the top left-hand corner, next to your account name.
Here, you'll see your active accounts and their associated holdings.
Add another account
Click the "Add Another Account" button at the bottom of the app.
Selecting your account type
The Magic Eden App offers three options for adding a new account:
Add a software account
Generates a new set of addresses on an existing recovery phrase.
Click "Add Software Account," enter a portfolio name, and click OK. Your new account will appear in the accounts menu under the wallet's recovery phrase.
If you already have multiple recovery phrase groups, you will need to select which group the new account will belong to.
The Magic Eden App currently auto-imports up to 10 accounts. To access additional accounts, you'll need to manually add software accounts to your Recovery Phrase until you reach the desired address.
Add a Ledger account
Connects the Magic Eden app to an account on a Ledger hardware wallet.
Click "Add Ledger Account," follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Ledger device.
Select the account you want to connect. These will vary depending on what application you have open on your Ledger.
After successful connection identified by the confirmation screen, your Ledger account will appear in a section named "Recovery Phrase x."
Import a recovery phrase
This option allows you to add accounts from the recovery phrase of another wallet backup.
Entering your recovery phrase
You will be directed to a screen where you can enter or paste your 12-word or 24-word secret recovery phrase.
Ensure each word is separated by a single space. Use the Paste button if your phrase is copied from another source.
Detecting funded accounts
After entering your recovery phrase, the app will automatically scan for funded accounts associated with your seed phrase.
A "Loading funded accounts…" screen will appear with an animated mascot. Keep the app open during this process.
Reviewing funded accounts
Once scanning is complete, the app will display a list of funded accounts detected.
Dropdown Filter: Use the dropdown menu to filter accounts by wallet provider (e.g., Magic Eden, Phantom, Solflare, Xverse, Metamask, etc.).
Review balances and associated assets across each account.
Selecting accounts to import
If the wallet contains multiple accounts:
Toggle through and select the accounts you wish to import.
If any addresses are missing, you can add software accounts to the recovery phrase later.
Restoring your wallet
Click 'Continue' to finalize your selection.
The app will display a "Restoring Wallet…" progress screen. Keep the app open while the restoration completes.
Account and recovery phrase limits
The Magic Eden App has the following limits for adding accounts:
Recovery Phrases: You can add up to 5 different recovery phrases to your Magic Eden App.
Total Accounts: You can add up to 30 accounts per wallet, spread across all recovery phrases.
