How to Receive Cryptocurrency
Step-by-step guide
Tap the cryptocurrency you want to receive.
Tap Receive on the token page.
Tap Copy or Share to send your wallet address to the sender.
Make sure the sender and receiver use the same network when transferring tokens. Many tokens (for example, USDT) exist on multiple networks such as Ethereum, Tron, or BNB Smart Chain. If a token is sent through the wrong network, it may be lost or become inaccessible.
FAQ
Why are the addresses of different tokens the same?
Tokens on the same network often share the same wallet address. On many EVM-compatible blockchains, a single address can be used for multiple tokens to facilitate transfers.
How do I choose the right network?
To receive cryptocurrency successfully, the sending and receiving networks must match.
When withdrawing funds from an exchange or another wallet:
- Check the network your tokens are on.
Most exchanges let you choose the network when withdrawing tokens. - Check that Tangem supports the same network.
Tangem Wallet supports many networks, including Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Tron, and others.
If the network does not match, the funds may not appear in your wallet and could be difficult or impossible to recover.
