Receiving KAS

Get your address to receive Kaspa.

How to Get Your Address

  1. Open your Wallet

  2. Tap Receive

  3. Your address appears (looks like kaspa:q...)

  4. Copy it or share it

Two Ways to Share

Option 1: The long address

  • Copy the full address (kaspa:q...)

  • Paste it wherever you need it

Option 2: QR code

  • Show the QR code on your screen

  • Let them scan it

  • No typing needed

When You Receive

Timeline:

  1. Immediately: You see it in transaction history as "Pending"

  2. Seconds later: Status changes to "Confirmed"

  3. It's yours: You can now spend it

What's happening:

  • Pending: The transaction is on its way, the network is processing it

  • Confirmed: The blockchain locked it in, it's permanent and yours

Kaspa's BlockDAG confirms transactions in seconds. Even during busy periods it's very fast.

Smart Tips

  • Share the right address—copy from the Receive screen, don't type it

  • Send a test first—if someone is sending you KAS for the first time, ask them to send a small amount first

  • Watch your balance grow—check your transaction history to see it come in
