How to Manage Your Saved Bitcoin Addresses

Use the Wallets page to add a saved Bitcoin wallet, edit its label, choose primary destinations, or delete a saved wallet from your list. Bitcoin Well supports on-chain Bitcoin addresses, Lightning Addresses, and LNURLs.


Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed. A saved address makes future selection faster, but you must still verify the complete destination in your external wallet before every transaction.


Wallet ownership requirements


You may only save and transact with a self-custody wallet that you personally own and control, including its private keys or recovery phrase. Do not add an exchange, trading platform, service provider, or other third-party wallet address. Bitcoin Well cannot send bitcoin directly to these destinations.


If a saved address does not meet these ownership requirements, remove it from your saved wallets before continuing to use the platform.


Open your wallet manager


  1. Sign in to your Bitcoin Well account.


  1. Select Account, then select Wallets.


Wallets option highlighted in the expanded Account menu


Add a saved wallet


  1. Select Add wallet.


Add wallet button highlighted on the Wallets page


  1. In Add wallet label, enter a recognizable name for the destination.


Add wallet label field highlighted in the Add wallet dialog


Use a label that identifies the wallet and network, such as Hardware wallet — on-chain or Mobile wallet — Lightning.


  1. Paste the destination supplied by your wallet, or use the scan button to scan its QR code. Bitcoin Well accepts a Bitcoin address, Lightning Address, or LNURL in this field.

The screenshot leaves the destination field empty for privacy. The QR scanner and paste control appear on the right side of the field.


  1. Compare the complete destination shown by Bitcoin Well with the destination in your external wallet.


Make sure the destination type matches the transaction you plan to make. Do not send an on-chain bitcoin transaction to a Lightning Address or LNURL, and do not use an on-chain address for a Lightning payment.


  1. Select Add.

The saved destination appears under All wallets and becomes available when Bitcoin Well asks you to select a wallet.


When using a new on-chain destination, consider sending a small test transaction first.


Choose your primary wallets


At the top of the Wallets page, use the Primary, On-chain primary, and Lightning primary selectors to choose the saved destinations you want Bitcoin Well to show by default.


  1. Select the primary field you want to change.
  2. Choose the correct saved wallet.
  3. Verify that the label shown in the field matches your intended destination.


Only compatible saved destinations appear in each primary selector.


Manage your wallet list and edit labels


  1. Under All wallets, select the destination you want to update.


  1. Change the wallet label to a clear, recognizable name.


Saved wallet label field highlighted in the Edit wallet dialog


  1. Review the destination, then select Save.


Save button highlighted after reviewing the saved wallet destination


The screenshots hide the saved Bitcoin address for privacy. Your account shows the destination associated with that entry.


Delete a saved wallet


A wallet cannot be removed while it is set as a primary or default destination or is being used for an active order. If Remove wallet is unavailable or the wallet shows In use, replace it first:


  1. If needed, add another saved wallet that you control.
  2. At the top of the Wallets page, change the relevant Primary, On-chain primary, or Lightning primary selector to the replacement wallet.
  3. Verify that the replacement wallet is now selected as the default destination.
  4. Under All wallets, select the old destination.
  5. Select Remove wallet.


Remove wallet button highlighted in the Edit wallet dialog


  1. Confirm the removal if Bitcoin Well asks you to do so.


Removing a saved destination only removes it from your Bitcoin Well address book. It does not move, recover, or affect bitcoin held in the external wallet.


Use a saved destination safely


When buying bitcoin, open the Destination selector and choose the saved wallet by its label.


A label is not proof that an address is correct. Before every transaction, verify the complete destination in your external wallet and confirm that you are using the correct network.
