# Wallet groups

A wallet group lets one seed back a wallet for each currency you use — write down one set of words, and you've backed up your Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and more. Each group can hold a single wallet of each currency type.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Only BIP39 wallets can share a seed.** Monero wallets created with the default Polyseed (16 words) or legacy (25 words) seed can't join a group — if you want your Monero wallet in a group, create it with the `BIP39` seed type instead.
{% endhint %}

## Add a wallet to a group

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create a new wallet

Open the `Wallets` tab from the bottom bar and tap `+ Create New Wallet`, then pick the currency you want to add.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose Wallet Group

Cake Wallet asks whether this wallet should share a seed with an existing wallet (`Choose Wallet Group`) or get a brand-new seed (`Create New Seed`).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pick the group

Select the group (or wallet) you want to share a seed with and tap `Next`.

If Cake Wallet says you don't have any compatible wallet groups, your existing wallets use seed types that can't be shared (for example, a Polyseed Monero wallet) — tap `Create New Seed` to start a BIP39 group instead.

![No compatible wallet groups message](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cake-tech/docs-assets/main/v6.3.1/wallets_group_04_choose-group_hl.png)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Name it and you're done

Name the new wallet and tap `Next`. Because it shares an existing seed, there's nothing new to write down — Cake Wallet confirms you're reusing a seed you've already backed up, with the option to verify it again.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Managing groups

The `Wallets` tab lists your wallets under `Shared Seed Wallets` (grouped, e.g. "Wallet Group 1") and `Single Seed Wallets`. Tap the pencil icon to rename a group or a wallet.

## Restoring a group

One seed restores every wallet in the group: restore it once for any currency, then add the other currencies to the same group with `Create New Wallet` → `Choose Wallet Group` — no extra words to keep track of.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Back up the group's seed once and keep it safe — it controls every wallet in the group. See [Create backup](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/managing-your-wallet/create-backup) for full-app backups.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/managing-your-wallet/wallet-groups.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
