<p>You will have to scan the blockchain and find the UTXOs that are locked with your addresses in the locking script.

@Sarath - you mean SPV node or Electrum wallet?

-Then how exchange are moving funds if they are using HD wallets. They manual move all the funds to cold storage. If they manual, how they can bare the transaction fee.

'''when you import your HD seed into any standard wallet, it will start generating child keys and scan the blockchain to see if there are any UTXOs that can be controlled by these child keys''' does this men, when a seed is provided , the wallet will start deriving child addresses, and start crawling  blockchain to see if any of the transaction is intendent to that address?

@cryptoKTM If it is a full node, it already has the UTXO database so it can directly query the UTXO set. So the full node will generate the child addresses and query this UTXO set. If it is a SPV node, it would query information from connected full nodes using bloom filters,

# funds in hd wallet

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-03-22)

I have a doubt on HD wallets, I have generated a sequence of address.

1. how to check the balance of each address or how we can look for balance.
2. Did the amount move to the base address as like monero eg. the funds once send to the integrated address it will move the base address.
3. How to restore the wallet.

Thanks in advance.
