# Receive crypto

## Definition

Receiving crypto means providing a valid destination address on the correct blockchain network so another party can send assets to an account the user controls.

## What it means in practice

The address format and network must both be compatible with the sender's transfer method.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval provides receiving addresses for supported wallet networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum/EVM contexts.

**Important:** Confirm the network before sharing an address; a familiar-looking address is not enough for cross-network compatibility.
