# Receive funds

Tap `Receive` on the home screen and you get your address as text and a QR code — copy it, share it, or let the sender scan it. Use `Set amount` to embed a specific amount in the QR so the sender's wallet fills it in automatically.

**Tip: tap the QR code to enlarge it.** You get a full-screen, Cake-branded version that's easier to scan from another phone — and a cleaner visual if you want to screenshot or share your address.

{% hint style="info" %}
On Bitcoin-family and Monero wallets, your receive address rotates after each payment for better privacy. Old addresses keep working forever — rotation just means new payments get fresh addresses.
{% endhint %}

## Bitcoin: pick your address type

Bitcoin wallets have several address types. Tap the type shown under the QR code to switch:

* **Standard** — the default (SegWit/P2WPKH, starts with `bc1q`). Right for almost every payment.
* **Lightning** — instant, near-free payments via your `@cake.cash` address. See [Lightning](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/basic/bitcoin-lightning).
* **Silent Payments** — a static `sp1` address you can post publicly; every payment lands at a fresh on-chain address. See [Silent Payments](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/privacy-and-security/silent-payments).
* **More Options** — legacy and specialty types (Taproot, P2SH, and others) for compatibility with older services.

## Litecoin: Standard and Private

Litecoin wallets offer `Standard` (`ltc1`) and `Private` — your MWEB address (`ltcmweb1`), where amounts and addresses are confidential. See [Litecoin MWEB](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/privacy-and-security/litecoin-mweb).

## Monero: accounts and subaddresses

Monero wallets organize addresses into **accounts** (separate buckets with their own balances) containing **subaddresses** (fresh receive addresses, generated automatically). Tap `Addresses` on the Receive screen to browse them — each shows how many payments it has received. Long-press an address to label it.

To rename an account or change its card color, tap the `⋮` menu on the home screen balance card and choose `Edit Account`.

## Ethereum, Solana, Tron and tokens: one address per chain

These wallets use a single address that never changes (Ethereum-family addresses start with `0x`). The same address receives the native coin and every token on that chain — the receive screen reminds you of exactly that.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When receiving tokens, make sure the sender uses the right network. USDT on Tron sent to an Ethereum address (or vice versa) will not arrive — the address format alone doesn't guarantee the network matches.
