address standalone add

Legacy spelling: this command was previously spelled standalone-add-watch-only-address. Both spellings work, but only the nested spelling shown here appears in help and tab completion (v1.4.5+).

Add a new standalone watch-only address not derived from the selected account's key chain.

A watch-only address allows the wallet to track its balance and transactions, but cannot be used to spend funds.

Usage​

address standalone add [OPTIONS] <ADDRESS>

Arguments​

  • <ADDRESS>: The address to watch.

Options​

  • --label <LABEL>: Optionally assign a label to the new address.

  • --no-rescan <NO_RESCAN>: Skip rescanning the blockchain after adding the address.

    • Possible values: true, false

Examples​

# Add a watch-only address with a label
address standalone add --label "Exchange deposit" <address>

Notes​

Since v1.4.1, the announced blockchain rescan completes before the command returns, so subsequent commands see the wallet fully synced (previously the process could exit before the background rescan finished).
