Gem Wallet is rolling out Contacts - your personal address book right inside the wallet, starting July 6, 2026. Save the addresses you send to most, give each one a clear name, and pick a recipient in a single tap - no more wrestling with long strings.
What Are Contacts in Gem Wallet?
Contacts is a secure address book right inside your wallet: save any crypto address under a name and reuse it when you send. It’s not just convenient - it’s safer for your transfers: pasting an address from your transaction history exposes you to address poisoning, a scam common on the TRON network when sending USDT, and sending to a saved, verified contact removes that risk entirely.
Benefits of Contacts in Gem Wallet
Stop digging through old chats for that address you swear you copied last week. Gem Wallet is a self-custody crypto wallet that now keeps your favorite addresses one tap away - named, organized, verified, and ready when you send.
Full Self-Custody: Your crypto, keys, and contacts stay with you. Gem Wallet never holds your funds, and no third party sits between you and the people you send to.
Fully Open-Source Code: Gem Wallet’s code is 100% open and published on GitHub, and it passed a CertiK audit in April 2026. Anyone can verify exactly how contacts are stored and handled in the app.
Privacy by Default: Your address book is stored locally on your device. Gem Wallet collects no personal data - no email, no phone number, no ID.
Named Contacts, No More Pasting: Give any address a label - “John”, “Savings”, “Work” - and forget about copying long strings. The right name, every time, instead of squinting at
bc1q6v...au56f.One Contact, Many Networks: A single contact can hold addresses across different blockchains - “Alice” with her Ethereum, Solana, and TRON addresses at once - each labeled and never mixed up.
Safer Transfers, Fewer Mistakes: Sending to a saved, verified contact protects you from address swaps and costly typos - your funds reach the right address, every time.
Resources for Developers
Contacts work across all 100+ blockchains Gem Wallet supports, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, XRP, TON, and others - with new chains added regularly.
How to Save a Contact in Gem Wallet
- On any transfer, long-press the sender or recipient address - or the recipient on the send confirmation screen.
- Tap Create New Contact to start a new one, or Add to Contact to attach the address to someone you already have.
- Give the contact a name and an optional description, then tap Save.
- Prefer to add one manually? Open Settings → Preferences → Contacts, tap the plus icon, and paste or scan the address.
- Next time you send, pick the contact straight from the recipient field in one tap.
Conclusion
Contacts turn sending crypto into one calm tap - fast, private, and secure, right on your device. Open Gem Wallet, save your first contact, and send crypto with confidence.
