What is a Wallet Address?
A wallet address is similar to a bank account number; it is a unique identifier that allows you to receive cryptocurrencies. Each type of cryptocurrency has its own wallet address, and sending funds to the wrong address can result in permanent loss of those funds.

Your wallet address and QR code will be displayed
Important Considerations
- Verify Addresses: Always double-check the wallet address before sending funds
- Supported Cryptocurrencies: Only send supported cryptocurrencies to their respective addresses
- Network Compatibility: Ensure you're using the correct network (e.g., ERC-20 for Ethereum-based tokens)
- Address Uniqueness: Your wallet address is different from your Coins.ph account number
