How to add a new account to your Magic Eden App
Access the account menu
Open your Magic Eden app and click the Account icon or name in the top left-hand corner, next to your account name.
Here, you'll see your active accounts and their associated holdings.
Add another account
Click the "Add Account" button at the bottom of the app.
Selecting your account type
The Magic Eden app offers three options for adding a new account:
Add a software account
Generates a new set of addresses on an existing recovery phrase.
Click "Software Account"
If you already have multiple recovery phrases imported, you will need to select which recovery phrase the new account will belong to.
Enter a portfolio name (account name) and click the "Create" button.
Your new account will appear in the accounts menu under the selected recovery phrase.
The Magic Eden App currently auto-imports up to 10 accounts. To access additional accounts, you'll need to manually add software accounts to your Recovery Phrase until you reach the desired address.
Add a Ledger account
Connects the Magic Eden app to an account on a Ledger hardware wallet.
Click "Add Ledger Account" and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your Ledger device.
Select the account you want to connect. The chain available to connect to will depend on which chain application you have open on your Ledger device (Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, etc).
After successfully connecting, your Ledger account will appear in a section named "Recovery Phrase X" with an account name "Ledger".

This option allows you to add accounts from a new recovery phrase. You will be directed to a screen where you can enter or paste your 12-word or 24-word recovery phrase. Please see this article for a detailed walk through on how to import a recovery phrase.
