What is the difference between a wallet and a portfolio?
| Multiple Wallets | Each wallet has its own unique 12-word secret recovery phrase and acts as a completely separate wallet. |
| Multiple Portfolios | Each portfolio is derived from the same 12-word phrase and each derivation is its own portfolio with its own addresses. Think of it like accounts all linked to the same 12-word phrase. |

What happens when I create another wallet?
When you create another wallet on your computer, you need to create another user account on your computer and install Qadirah wallet on the new account.
This is because when you create a new wallet, you are creating a whole new set of 12-words. It is a completely separate wallet.
