Different wallets suit different purposes — an embedded wallet for convenience, a hardware or browser wallet for control, sometimes a separate wallet per chain — so it's common for active crypto users to accumulate several wallets over time without ever deciding to, rather than by deliberate design.
Holding assets across multiple wallets isn't inherently a problem — not being able to see the full picture is. Checking balances, tracking performance, and understanding what you actually hold across several separate apps, each with its own interface, is where the practical difficulty shows up.
A genuinely useful consolidated view needs to track balances live as they change (not on a delay), break holdings down by both wallet and individual token — not just by chain — and do this without requiring you to give up control of the wallets themselves to get it.
Convenience tools that require handing custody of your assets to a third party solve the visibility problem by creating a different one. The better version of a consolidated view works alongside self-custodied and connected wallets without taking control away from you.
GEF One's Overview and Account Charts track balances live across every connected wallet and chain — Circle-embedded, MetaMask-embedded or externally connected — by wallet and by individual token, without requiring you to give up control of any of them.
