What should you verify before sharing a crypto receive address?
Select the intended network first, then share the address shown for that network. Tell the sender the exact asset and chain, and never share a private key, recovery code or wallet PIN to receive funds.
Share public address only
State the network
No secret is required to receive
01
Address comes from network context
Open the receive flow after selecting the chain the sender will use.
02
QR and copy both need review
A convenient transfer method does not remove the need to verify the destination.
03
Incoming does not mean risk-free
Unexpected tokens and links can be spam; receiving them does not require interaction.
Give the sender complete instructions
A public address is only part of the routing information. State the asset and network in plain language, especially when a token such as USDC exists on several chains.
If the sender is withdrawing from an exchange, its withdrawal network must match the address context you selected in NordBalticum.
Verify arrival using the network
A sender screenshot is not final proof. Use the transaction identifier or the selected network's explorer to confirm that the transfer was submitted to your address and reached the required status.
Wallet balances may take time to refresh. Do not repeat a transfer only because one interface has not updated immediately.

Clear routing reduces the most common source of confusion: a correct-looking address used on an unsupported chain.

Frequently asked
Is it safe to share my public address?
It is needed to receive funds, but it can expose public transaction history. Never share private wallet secrets.
Do I need to pay to receive crypto?
Ordinary receipt usually does not require you to authorize a transaction, though moving the asset later will require the relevant network fee.
Why has my balance not updated?
Check the transaction on the correct network explorer first. Network confirmation and interface refresh can take different amounts of time.
