An observer wallet is a wallet that cannot be used for sending transactions. In other words, it is a read-only wallet. This is a powerful concept for HODLers and farmers alike.
+:::info
+
+Currently, you need to understand how to use a command line interface (CLI) in order to set up an observer wallet. Eventually, we will make this setup easier for GUI users.

Until the introduction of observer wallets, the Chia reference wallet always stored each public/private key pair locally. It was possible to maintain an offline key, for example in order to receive farmer rewards, but checking the balance required using a blockchain explorer. However, as a privacy feature, Chia wallets generate a new address each time they receive money. A blockchain explorer is therefore not always able to provide an accurate view of a wallet's history.
With an observer wallet, you can view your wallet's history and balance without the risk of funds being stolen by someone who gains access to your computer.

## Set up
-In order to set up an observer wallet, you need to know the wallet's public key. This guide will demonstrate one technique to obtain this information.

-If you don't have an existing wallet that you would like to convert to an observer wallet, then you will need to create one. From the "Chia Wallet Keys" screen, click `ADD WALLET` and `Create New`:

-To load an observer wallet, the seed phrase is not required. However, in order to spend the funds in an observer wallet later, the seed phrase **is** required. It is critically important to securely save this seed phrase, just as you would with a non-observer wallet. If you do not save a copy of the seed phrase, you will never be able to spend this wallet's funds.
