To receive crypto, you need to share your Ethereum address with the sender. As long as you only share your public address (which starts with 0x and is 42 characters long), it's perfectly safe.
You should never share your 12-word recovery phrase with anyone. Anyone who has your recovery phrase can manage your crypto. If someone's asking for your recovery phrase to send you crypto, they're trying to scam you.
1
From the tab bar, tap Wallet
. 2
Select the Wallet account you want to receive crypto and tap Receive
. 3
Choose either your legacy or multi-chain address. For your multi-chain address, tap Edit
to choose which chains you want your multi-chain address to feature. 4
To copy your address, tap Copy
. You can also ask the sender to scan the QR code of your address. 5
Share your address with the person you want to receive crypto from.
If someone sent you crypto and you can't see it in your Status Wallet, here's what you can do:
Ask the sender to share a block explorer link for this transaction with you. Using the link, make sure they sent your crypto to the right address.
If the transaction shows up as processing or pending on the block explorer or your Wallet Activity
tab, simply wait until it's completed. This can take longer than usual when the network's busy.
Close and re-open your Status Wallet app.
Check your internet connection. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off and on again.
