[Feature Request] Multiple distinct wallets in app

[wrkerr]

It would be helpful if Muun allowed users to have more than one Bitcoin wallet in the app, with the ability to name and switch between them, similar to Blue Wallet or others.

Hi there!

Thank you for your feedback! We have already heard requests for something like this. May I ask you what your intend use case would be? What problem would this solve for you or what would something like this enable you to do? This would help us better understand the expected behavior and design a proper solution, as well as prioritize the work 😉

I think this would be awesome for containerizing Bitcoin transactions between multiple profiles. For example, I could have a wallet for personal stuff and another one for my work. Today I use Muun with an Android work profile, allowing me to have two Muun instances working together. This wouldn't be necessary anymore if this feature is implemented.

Multiple wallets could function similar to multiple bank accounts, ie "Savings account" "Personal Spending" "Bills" "holiday fund" etc

It wouldnt explicitly have to be seperate keys, just labeled buckets for easy coin control?

The UI flow could be a case of creating and naming a "Wallet Pocket" which shows up as a tab. You can then generate recieve addresses for that specific Pocket, and funds sent to those adresses show up as being in that pocket.

When sending funds, you could then either send from just 1 pocket (and only use the UTXOs that are inside that pocket), or,
if there arent enough funds in a pocket for the intended transaction, a pop up with a list of check boxes for pockets you want to use.

Adding on here - I'm trying to convert small checks my kids get from relatives into BTC savings accounts for them, and this feature would absolutely rock for that. The idea would be: deposit the check into my bank account, buy BTC with a service like strike, then zap it into their "Kid account" on Muun. When the balance gets large enough, push to cold storage.

There's a major gap in the market here. If people are start spending in BTC and need/want to use lightning routinely, they'll need to manage several accounts, just like savings/checking accounts in banks today. These could be virtual on top of the wallet as described above, or different wallets with different seeds. Right now, BlueWallet on top of a self-hosted LNDHub is the best alternative, but it's severely limited for this type of use case (no security outside home network, can't receive in lightning / send in BTC, ect).
