To receive Bitcoin in your Vault, you need to have a Vault set up first. If you don't have a Vault yet, find our guide on how to create a Bitcoin Vault.
-
Log in to the app, go to the Crypto menu, select Bitcoin Vault, and click the Receive button (QR code symbol).
-
Copy the displayed receive address, and ensure there are no typos since sending Bitcoin to the wrong address can result in permanent loss of funds. You can use the Generate New button to generate a new address and the Generate Legacy Address button to generate a legacy address.
-
Send the receive address (alphanumeric string or QR code) to the person who will transfer BTC to your Vault. You can use the Share button to share the address through Whatsapp, Telegram, email and other channels. Once the sender initiates the transfer and the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it will be displayed in the funds overview of your Vault.
-
You can additionally verify the transaction on a blockchain explorer like blockchain.com. Just enter the address or the transaction hash in the search input field, and check whether the transaction is verified.
That's it! You've successfully received Bitcoin in your Vault.
