  • Optional Chia addresses to save for sending

Open Address Book​

Add a contact​

  1. Under Name, enter the contact name as you want it to appear.

  2. Under Emails, enter at least one email address. Use + Add Another for more emails. Contacts must have at least one email.

View and edit a contact​

  1. From the Address Book list, click a contact card to open it.

  2. Edit the name, emails, or addresses on the contact page. The layout matches Create Contact. Changes save when you leave a field (there is no separate Save button).

  3. Return to the list when you are done.

Delete a contact​

  1. On the Address Book list, click the trash icon on the contact card.

  2. Confirm in the Delete contact dialog. The warning states that the action is not reversible.

  3. Click Delete to remove the contact, or Cancel to keep it.

Use a contact when sending​

When you send XCH, a token, or an NFT from a vault, the Send To field accepts a typed address or a contact suggestion.

  1. Open Send for the asset you want to transfer.

  2. In Send To, start typing a contact name, email, address, or label. You can also use the address book control on the address field.

  3. Choose a suggestion to fill the destination address. Suggestions show the contact name, email, and labeled address when available.

You can still paste any valid address directly without using a saved contact.

Troubleshooting​

  • Ensure every contact has a name and at least one valid email
  • Use a valid Chia address in the Addresses section
  • If send suggestions do not appear, confirm the contact has at least one saved address
