How to create watch-only wallet

As the topic entails, I would like to know if it is possible to create a watch-only wallet on utopia and how to go about it.

Wallet security is the most paramount topic in crypto and we are constantly exploring ways to keep our funds away from the reach of scammers. An offline wallet is one of the best ways to do this but I need a watching only wallet I can use to monitor my assets.

I would appreciate any suggestions given.

Well Utopia p2p uWallet is not like other wallet, it has an inbuilt wallet in their ecosystem, it's highly protected and hard to penetrate, so you can't create your own watch only wallet outside the application neither can you create it in the application.

Security is addressed in a blockchain through cryptographic techniques and consensus mechanisms. Blockchains use encryption to encode transaction information and include the data from previous blocks in each following block. The entire ledger is chained together through encrypted data. Each newly created block makes it more secure.

When managing your cryptocurrency assets, choosing a wallet that supports xPub keys and watch-only functionality can enhance both security and convenience. xPub keys allow you to generate and monitor multiple addresses without exposing private keys, while watch-only functionality lets you keep track of transactions and balances without the ability to spend the funds. Wallet applications like Electrum and Mycelium are highly recommended for their robust features in these areas.
