# Wallet Management The **new Vult Wallet UI** introduces enhanced wallet management, split key functionality, and improved user control over wallet sharing and security. This documentation provides a detailed overview of the **new wallet UI**, including **Vault integration, keys, sharing options, and permission management**. ### **1. Wallet Overview & Vault Integration** **Vault** is a **Key Management Service** that securely manages private keys by utilizing a **key mechanism**. It enhances security and enables **safe key sharing**. * **Key Storage**: One key is stored in **Vault**, the other remains on the user's device. * **Transaction Signing**: Transactions require **both keys** for authorization. * **Secure Sharing**: Users can create multiple split keys for flexible sharing, which can be revoked at any time. * **Unlimited Split Keys**: The same wallet can have multiple split keys with different permissions. By default, the system does **not store wallets in Vault**. To enable Vault-based key management, you must **store your wallet** in Vault. Here are the steps to store Wallet in Vault: 1. Open your Personal Wallet and click on **Store Room in Vault**.

2. Once stored, you will see the Room Keys activated, allowing you to create and manage split keys.

{% hint style="info" %} **Important:** If your wallet is not stored in Vault, you cannot create split keys. {% endhint %} ### **2. Creating and Managing Keys** **Room Keys** are additional keys derived from the **same wallet** but with different access permissions. The new UI allows users to create and manage these keys directly. Here is how you can create a new split key: 1. Click on **New Split Key by clicking** on **New Key in** wallet interface.

2. The key is generated and appears under the **"Your Keys"** section. Each key has a **public key** that can be copied or shared.

Each split key offers the following actions: * **Public Key (Copy)**: Retrieve the public key for the split key. * **Share**: Share the split key with another user. * **Activate**: Set the selected split key as the primary active key. * **Manage**: Modify **restrictions and permissions** for the key. {% hint style="info" %} A primary split key is a split key that cannot be shared. If you need to share, you should create additional split keys. {% endhint %} ### **3. Managing Split Key Permissions** To manage Split Key Permissions: 1. Click **Manage** on a split key.

2. The split key details dialog opens, where you can **only revoke** the key. If you want to change permissions, you must **revoke the current split key** and **create a new one** with the desired permissions.

### **4. Sharing a Split Key** The new UI allows **controlled sharing of keys** with other users by defining permissions before granting access. Here is how you can share a split key: 1. Select the **key** you want to share and click **Share**.

2. Choose **restrictions** to apply and enter the **username** of the recipient and click **Share**.

{% hint style="danger" %} If you want to revoke access, you must delete the shared split key and create a **new one** with updated restrictions. {% endhint %} ### **5. Wallet Structure & Activation** Every account starts with a default personal wallet. Inside this wallet, a Primary Split Key is automatically created. Primary Split Keys cannot be shared, as they are tied to the active wallet. If you create a new wallet, it becomes your active wallet. Each wallet has its own Primary Split Key. You can create additional split keys under each wallet for sharing with specific permissions. #### To activate your split key, go to **Other Split Keys**. Click **Activate** on the desired split key.

This key now becomes the **Primary Split Key**, and previous split keys will be deactivated. ### 6. Accessing Shared Wallet When **User A** shares a split key with **User B**, the shared wallet becomes visible in both users’ interfaces: **For User A: Managing Shared Keys** User A can view and manage all split keys they have shared by:

1. Navigating to their active wallet view. Switching to the **"Shared Keys"** tab. Here, each entry represents a wallet that has been shared. 2. For each shared key, User A can view: * The recipient’s wallet public key. * The shared key reference. * An option to **Manage** the key (e.g., revoke, update permissions). This allows User A to monitor and control who has access to shared wallets at any time. **For User B: Accessing the Shared Wallet** Once the split key is received, User B can access the wallet as follows:

1. Open the **wallet dashboard** in their account. Scroll down to the **"Shared Room"** section. 2. Identify the shared wallet by matching the wallet address or public key (as provided by User A). 3. Click **“Make Active”** to activate the shared wallet. Once activated, the shared wallet becomes the default active wallet for User B, enabling them to perform operations within the granted permissions.
