How to Create a Wallet in Altrady

Introduction


Tracking your cryptocurrencies with Altrady isn’t limited to exchange accounts — you can also monitor all of your self-custodied funds across any wallets you use.

Instead of juggling multiple tools, Altrady gives you one unified platform for all your crypto management needs.

Once you add a wallet to Altrady, you can view your balances instantly without ever opening the wallet’s own software.

Altrady allows you to add multiple addresses for tracking and combine them into one consolidated wallet view.

  • XRP (Ripple)

How to Make a Wallet in the Altrady Portfolio


Step 1


Open Altrady and go to the Portfolio tab.



Step 2


On the top left of the Portfolio page, click on the "+Add" button next to "My Accounts".


Next, select the Wallet option in the dropdown menu.



Step 3


You should now be prompted to add a name for this wallet. We will name this wallet "Ethereum", but you can add any name you like.


Step 4


Next, click the "+Add" button again, but this time click on "Wallet address".



Step 5


Now give the wallet address a name and select the wallet you made previously.



Step 6


Then select the chain, we will be choosing "eth" in this case.


Step 7.0


If you are making a Bitcoin wallet in Altrady, do step 7.0 ONLY to check what the wallet address starts with. Note whether this address starts with a 3 or a bc1.

Write this down on paper or in the notepad app on your computer.

This will be important in a later step when we move on to generating the zpub.

(If it starts with a 3 then generate a ypub)


Then skip to Step 8.0.


For others types of wallets, continue here.

Next, copy the deposit address from your wallet provider. For this guide we are using Ledger Live.



Step 7.1 (Skip this step if you are adding a Bitcoin address and go to Step 8.0)


Copy the deposit address from your wallet, paste it into the highlighted "Wallet address" box, and then click the blue "Save" button.



If you completed the steps above for ETH, LTC, or BNB, you’re all set — you should now see your wallet and coin balance in your Altrady portfolio. If you selected Bitcoin, continue to the next section.


Step 8.0


In Ledger, open the settings for this wallet account and right-click the wrench icon at the top.



Step 8.1


Click Advanced on this screen.



Step 8.2


Copy the "xpub..." string inside the quotes — the long one that extends across two lines.



Note: This is completely safe to share — it’s simply used to verify your holdings and cannot be used by anyone to access your money. You can read more about that here: Is sharing xpub safe?


Step 8.3


Paste this in the "Your xpub" box over in this website: jlopp xpub converter


Be sure to check whether the address starts with a 3 or a bc1. Check the note you left for yourself about this in Step 7.


If it starts with a bc1 — convert to Zpub, and if starting with a 3 — convert to Ypub.



Step 8.4


This will generate either a zpub or a ypub string — paste it in the highlighted "Wallet address" box in Altrady, and then click on the blue "Save" button.



Finished


You should now see your wallet and number of coins in the Altrady portfolio.


How to Ignore Coin Balances in Your Wallet


  1. Click on the three dots next to the wallet that coins are to be ignored for. Then, click Edit wallet.



  1. On the next screen, a column titled Ignore in balance will be displayed. To ignore any of the listed currencies, click on the slider next to the currency that you would like to be ignored.


Note: Changes are automatically and immediately saved after clicking on the slider next to each coin. You do not need to click the save button for these changes to be saved. Closing the widget after enabling/disabling is enough.


  1. To add the wallet to its own folder after ignoring balances, enter a name for the wallet, and choose which folder it should be added to. Once done, click Save and you should see that your wallet has been added to the respective folder.


Troubleshooting


In case you are having any issues with the wallet (balance not showing or wrong amounts):


  1. Double-check for any typos in the wallet address
  2. Delete the wallet and try reconnecting it again if everything was correctly input
  3. Contact support at https://support.altrady.com if it's still not working as expected
