@gross_bit Yes, I'm happy to explain: what you're seeing is a feature, and further, the behavior you want is also supported. Chains where the addresses never change are disasters from a privacy standpoint. Avalanche is protecting your privacy here. Let's delve further >>
@gross_bit Suppose that the wallet just gave you a single, static address. Imagine now that we go to dinner, you pay, and I need to send you my half of the bill. I get to discover your address, *I get to know exactly how much you have* and *I get to watch all your future transactions*. >>
@gross_bit To avoid this, the Avalanche wallet gives you a new address as you use old addresses. That way, you can receive some money from me, and some money from someone else, without us being able to see each other's activities. >>
@gross_bit The fact that the wallet gives you new addresses does NOT mean that the old ones are "used up" or "unusable."
All of your addresses are derived from a single common secret.
They are all simultaneously active. So you can use and reuse an address that you had in the past.

@gross_bit So you can whitelist one address and continue to use it.
This same behavior is also found in Bitcoin wallets.
Hope this helps. Feel free to direct questions to our reddit or discord in the future, people will respond faster and more reliably there than here.
