# What is an observation wallet

A watch wallet is essentially a block explorer that observes data on a specific address chain.

Users only need to use the observation wallet to import the account (public key) or address to have a convenient experience. By observing the wallet, they can view the account (address) assets, transaction records and other content. Therefore, the observation wallet cannot directly perform on-chain operations such as transfer. If you need to transfer money, you can import the private key or mnemonic into the wallet or use it with cold wallet authorization.
