Creating and deleting subaccounts is handled entirely from a user's main account. Each Polyester account can have unlimited subaccounts.
Creating a subaccount
subaccounts are created from the subaccounts page of the dashboard on a user's main account.
When a subaccount is created, a new smart wallet is generated and assigned to it. The wallet is flagged on-chain as a subaccount and operates independently from other subaccounts attached to the user's main account.
New subaccounts are created with a default set of permissions. Review and adjust permissions before trading, transferring funds, or inviting members.
Switching Between subaccounts
The subaccounts page displays a table of all subaccounts associated with a user's main account.
From this table, users can view basic information, status, and use quick actions directly from the row.
Clicking a subaccount row opens its dedicated subaccount page, where users can:
- View assets and balances
- Edit permissions
- Create and manage API keys
- Invite members and assign roles
- Review subaccount activity
To return to the main account, use the ‘left arrow’ icon next to the subaccount name at the top of the page.
Deleting a subaccount
subaccounts can be deleted from either the subaccount table or the dedicated subaccount page.
To delete: Open the vertical ellipsis menu and select ‘Delete’.
