Phantom lets you add accounts and wallets at any time after setup. You can create a new account, import a wallet you already own, connect a hardware wallet, or watch an address without spending access.

Account options
Create new account
Creates a new multi-chain account linked to one of your existing wallets. If you have imported multiple recovery phrases, Phantom asks which wallet to use. Good for keeping things separate without starting over.
See Manage your accounts in Phantom.
Connect hardware wallet
Adds accounts from a Ledger hardware wallet. Connect by cable or Bluetooth.
Import recovery phrase
Restores a wallet you already own using its 12- or 24-word recovery phrase. Use this only for wallets you control.
See Restore an existing wallet in Phantom.
Import private key
Adds a single address on one network. Doesn't restore a full wallet — just that one address. Use this when you need to bring in one specific account.
See Restore an existing wallet in Phantom.
Watch address
Adds a wallet in view-only mode. You can track balances and activity, but can't send or sign transactions. Useful for monitoring another wallet.
