In this guide, we break down the steps on how to receive crypto on Bitcoin, Solana, and other supported chains in the Magic Eden app.
Receiving crypto in the Magic Eden app
Receive page
Navigate to the Portfolio page and select the Receive button (down arrow inside a circle) on the top right corner.
View your addresses
The Receive page will show you all your addresses on the current account from each chain. You can quickly copy the address by clicking the Copy icon or click the QR icon to view the QR code for the address.
It is important to know which chain the tokens being sent to you are on so that you can provide the sender the correct address.
When receiving Bitcoin (BTC), always receive it on your "Bitcoin" address (segwit) and not your "Ordinals & Runes" address (taproot).
Receive Assets page
When you click the QR icon you will be taken to the Receive Assets page for the selected chain. Your address will be displayed in plain text. Click the "Copy" button to copy the address to your device's clipboard. Your address also will be displayed as a QR code. Share this QR code with potential senders for them to scan.
Track incoming funds
Once the transaction is initiated by the sender, you will need to wait for the to confirm on the blockchain confirmations. Your funds will only be available in your Magic Eden app when confirmed on the blockchain. Depending on the blockchain, times will vary. You can track the status of the transaction by searching the transaction hash on a block explorer.
