Watched-only Accounts
With Talisman’s watched accounts feature, you can follow and view balances of any Polkadot or Ethereum accounts without importing your recovery phrase into Talisman.
Watched accounts will allow you to keep a close eye on your own external addresses ( such as a ledger you don't use often, but you want to track its asset balance) or follow Polkadot and Ethereum accounts of interest and track their activity (such as DAOs, companies or your favorite Web3 celebrity). In this article you will learn how to add watched accounts in the popup view, expanded view and in the Talisman DeFi Portal.
1.From the pop-up view of Talisman, select "More"
2.Select “Add Account”
Note: during onboarding, you may select “Add Account from this screen”

3. Select Watch and choose the account type.

4.Set an account name and add the wallet address. If you want to include the balances of the assets in a watched account to your total portfolio balance, toggle on the "include in my portfolio" option. The button will turn green. Thereafter select "Add".
By toggling ON the "include in my portfolio" option, the asset balances of the address you are adding as a watched account will be included in your total portfolio balance. By toggling OFF the "include in my portfolio" option, the asset balances of the address you are adding as a watched account will NOT be included in your total portfolio balance.
