What multi-wallet trading is
Multi-wallet trading lets you execute a token buy across more than one Cove account from the same trading panel, in one action. Instead of opening the panel four times and tapping Buy in four separate accounts, you select the accounts once, tell Cove how to distribute the spend, and submit. Cove sends one transaction per selected account and reports every result back in a single execution message.
It exists because serious traders rarely operate from one wallet. They separate strategies, keep a "clean" account apart from a "sniper" account, avoid every entry looking identical on-chain, and want to distribute entries so a single fill doesn't reveal their full size. Multi-wallet trading turns that from a manual, error-prone chore into a few taps.
Every account is a full Cove account with its own USDC balance, positions and history. Multi-wallet trading doesn't merge them; it just lets them act together when you want them to.
How the flow works
- Open a token panel. Paste a contract address or open a token link as normal.
- Choose accounts. Tap the account selector at the bottom of the panel and select one or more accounts.
- Set execution behaviour. Open Set up delay and variance and configure spend type, buy variance and transaction delay.
- Execute. Return to the panel and tap a buy preset or enter a custom amount. Cove submits one transaction per account and shows the results.
If only one account is selected, the flow is identical to a normal single-account trade. Nothing about multi-wallet mode is forced on you.
The account selector
The selector is the control centre for this feature. It lists every account on your profile with its deployable balance — the USDC actually available to spend right now — and the current multi-wallet settings.
From the selector you can:
- Select or deselect individual accounts by tapping them.
- Use Select all or Deselect all to move quickly.
- See the total deployable balance across the selected accounts.
- Open Set up delay and variance before executing.
The total deployable figure is the number to watch. In Per Wallet mode especially, it is easy to select five accounts and forget that the panel amount will be spent five times.
Spend type
Spend type controls how the amount you tap on the buy panel is interpreted across the selected accounts. There are two modes.
When to use Split Total
Split Total is the default for distributing a fixed budget. You decide the total you want in the position — say $300 — and Cove spreads it across the accounts you've selected. Your overall exposure is exactly what you typed. This is the right mode when the goal is to break one entry into several smaller on-chain footprints without changing your risk.
When to use Per Wallet
Per Wallet is for when each account should take the same-sized position independently. If you run three accounts that each follow the same strategy and each should hold $50 of a token, Per Wallet with a $50 preset does that in one tap. The trade-off is that total exposure scales with account count.
Buy variance is ignored in Per Wallet mode, because each account is intentionally spending the same fixed amount.
Buy variance
Buy variance adds randomness to how a Split Total buy is divided across accounts. Without variance, $50 across two accounts is a perfectly even $25 / $25. With variance set to 25%, the same buy might land as $20 / $30 or $28 / $22 — the total stays $50, but the individual fills stop being identical.
Why it matters: perfectly even splits across several wallets that fire at the same instant are a recognisable pattern. Anyone reading the chain can cluster those wallets together. Variance breaks the symmetry so the fills look like independent participants of different sizes.
Variance is expressed as a percentage band around the even split. Higher values produce more uneven fills. Very high variance combined with small totals can push individual fills close to the minimum trade size, so keep an eye on the per-account amounts in the preview.
Variance applies to buys only and only in Split Total mode.
Transaction delay
Transaction delay spaces the account transactions apart in time so they aren't all broadcast in the same block. Presets are Off, 250ms, 500ms, 1000ms, and a custom value. With a 1000ms delay, each account's transaction is sent exactly one second after the previous one.
Delay does two things:
- It de-clusters the fills in time, which — combined with variance — makes the entries look less like a single actor.
- It gives each transaction its own gas estimate and route calculation, so a sudden gas spike or price move between fills is handled per-transaction rather than assumed up front.
Delay, like variance, applies to buys only. Sells from multiple accounts are handled through Positions.
Executing a multi-wallet buy
Once accounts and settings are chosen, return to the trading panel. The panel now shows the selected account count in the account selector. Tap a buy preset or set a custom amount, confirm if Buy Confirm is on, and Cove begins execution.
The execution message lists one transaction per selected account, each with its own status, fill amount and route. If one account fails — for example because its deployable balance is a few cents short after gas surplus — the others are unaffected. You'll see exactly which account didn't fill and why.
After execution, each account's position appears separately in Positions, attributed to the account that holds it. You can manage them individually or filter Positions by account to see them together.
Fees and gas across accounts
Each account's transaction is an independent trade for fee and gas purposes. Cove sponsors gas up to $5 on each transaction, not $5 across the whole batch. The platform fee applies per transaction using the same schedule as any other trade — 1% on most chains, tiered on Ethereum and HyperEVM, with the standard minimum fee floors.
Because minimum fees apply per transaction, splitting a small total across many accounts is less efficient than a single buy. Five $10 fills on a standard chain each pay the $0.95 minimum ($4.75 total, 9.5%) where one $50 fill would pay $0.95 (1.9%). Multi-wallet trading is designed for sizes where the per-fill amounts clear the minimum-fee threshold comfortably.
If any single transaction needs more gas than the sponsored cap, the Gas Surplus Budget guardrail applies to that transaction on its own. With a budget set, surpluses under the limit are approved automatically; with it off, Cove prompts you.
Guardrails still apply
Every guardrail you've configured runs on every account's transaction independently: slippage, liquidity protection, auto-adjust max buy, high price-impact confirmation. This matters for liquidity protection in particular — five fills into a thin pool consume liquidity cumulatively, and each fill after the first sees a slightly worse price. Variance and delay don't change that; sizing does.
Managing accounts for multi-wallet use
Multi-wallet trading is only as useful as your account setup. From Accounts you can:
- Create additional Cove accounts under your Telegram profile.
- Import an existing wallet as a Cove account.
- Transfer USDC between your Cove accounts so each has the deployable balance you want before a trade.
- Export a wallet or revoke Cove's signing access on any account.
A common pattern is one funding account that receives deposits, with USDC transferred out to trading accounts as needed. Transfers between your own Cove accounts are gas-sponsored like any other action.
Worked example
You want $400 total into a new Base token across four accounts, without four identical $100 fills at the same block.
- Paste the address. The panel opens: $900K market cap, $95K liquidity, no tax.
- Tap the account selector. Select Main, Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Total deployable shows 2,180 USDC.
- Tap Set up delay and variance. Spend type: Split Total. Variance: 20%. Delay: 500ms.
- Back on the panel, tap Custom amount and enter 400. Buy Confirm shows the plan: four fills, roughly $80–$120 each, half a second apart.
- Confirm. The execution message arrives with four lines: $112, $88, $97, $103 — all filled, each with its own route and receipt.
- Positions now shows four rows for the token, one per account, each with its own PnL.
Total exposure: exactly $400. On-chain footprint: four differently sized buys spread over two seconds.
Things to check before every multi-wallet buy
- Spend type. Split Total divides; Per Wallet multiplies.
- Selected account count. The number in the selector, not the number you think you selected.
- Total deployable balance. Enough to cover every fill plus any gas surplus.
- Liquidity. Cumulative fills into thin pools compound price impact.
- Per-fill size versus minimum fees. Small splits pay the minimum fee several times.
Multi-wallet trading removes the mechanical friction of trading from several accounts. It doesn't remove the need to think about size.
Selling across accounts
Multi-wallet mode is a buy-side feature: variance and delay apply to buys only. To exit a token held in several accounts, open Positions, leave all accounts visible, and you'll see one row per account for that token. Sell each from its row — or, with Sell 100% in Positions enabled, exit each in one tap. If you want automated exits instead, enable Auto TP/SL before you buy; each account's fill then ships with its own take-profit and stop-loss orders, and the exits run without you.
Choosing variance and delay values
There's no single right setting, but the trade-offs are predictable.
For most traders, 20–30% variance and 500–1000ms delay breaks obvious patterns without meaningfully changing average entry. On a token moving 5% a second, a long delay costs you; use a shorter one and accept more uniform fills.
Frequently asked
Does each account need its own gas? No. Gas is sponsored up to $5 per transaction on every account. None of them ever holds a native token.
What if one account has less balance than its share? That account's transaction fails or is reduced; the others proceed. The execution message tells you which.
Can I mix Split Total and Per Wallet? Not in one buy. Choose the mode per trade.
Are the accounts linked on-chain? They're separate wallets. Cove doesn't publish any relationship between them. Variance and delay exist so that your own behaviour doesn't reveal one either.
Can I preset a default account group? Use Select all when you want everything, or leave your most-used accounts selected — the selector remembers the current selection while the panel is open.
Is there a maximum number of accounts per buy? All accounts on your profile can participate. Practical limits come from balance and minimum fees, not from Cove.
Multi-wallet trading and the Rewards program
Every account's fill is a separate trade for cashback purposes. Cashback is calculated on the net fee of each fill — platform fee minus the gas Cove sponsored — at your personal tier, and credited instantly in the native chain token. Because your cashback tier is based on total personal volume across all your accounts, splitting a buy across five accounts doesn't fragment your tier progress; the volume still counts toward one tier. What does change is the fee arithmetic on small fills: five fills each below the $95 threshold each pay the $0.95 minimum, and on a low-gas chain each of those minimums generates positive net fee and therefore cashback. On an EVM chain during congestion, a very small fill can cost more in sponsored gas than it generates in fee, producing a negative cashback adjustment on that fill. Larger per-account fills avoid this entirely, which is one more reason to keep rungs and splits comfortably above the minimum-fee line.
