# View-Only Wallets

Railway users can **import a View-Only Wallet**. This wallet will be associated with a 0zk address, and can view transaction history and balances, without being able to spend funds. 

**WARNING:** *Currently, Viewing Keys grant full transaction viewing access and will permanently display all transactions (including future transactions) to a Viewing Key holder. Viewing Keys cannot be revoked once shared.* 

### Generating your Shareable Viewing Key

1. **Click "Settings"** in the bottom left **then "Wallets"**.

### Further Info

*View-Only wallets can be useful for recordkeeping purposes – for example, accountants may use View-Only Wallets to view the transaction history of their clients. RAILGUN transactions are entirely private, and only those with View access can see the wallet's decrypted transaction history.
