Before you can start receiving crypto currency, for any blockchain (or currency) you must have an address and accompanying recovery seed or private key.
First You Need a Wallet
Maybe you don’t have an address yet or wish to create a new one, in that case please follow the steps in the link below to create a new wallet.

Finding Your Address
For each currency in your wallet you will find one or more addresses belonging to you. To access your address do the following:
From the home screen (the one that shows your wallet name at the top) click on the currency/blockchain you want to find your address for. You should go to that currencies page (below is the Bitcoin page as an example)
You have several options to access your addresses. On the screen above if you would click the menu button on the top right you could:
- Copy your address
Copy address(copies the address to your clipboard so you can paste it in another app) - Show address as QR code
Show address QR(allows someone else to scan your address as a QR code with their phone) - Share you address over email, sms, whatsapp or any other app through
Share adress
Receive Button
Next to the Transfer button you will find the Receive button on the screen shown above.
The functionalities are quite the same on the receive screen yet differ slightly. Where you would copy your raw address in the steps above, on the receive screen some meta data is added to your address in the form of a blockchain identifier. This meta data however is understood by most other wallet apps.
When you enter an amount to be received through the meta data most other wallet apps will pre-fill their amount inputs with the amount you entered in Heat Wallet.
