How to Verify a Deposit Address
Validate a deposit or receiving address and reduce address-poisoning and clipboard risks.
What you need to know
Step by step
1. Copy the address from the current route receipt or deposit screen. 2. Confirm the destination network and asset match the route. 3. Compare the beginning and end of the pasted address with the source shown by the route. 4. When appropriate, send a small test amount and wait for confirmation before a larger transfer.
Safety warning
Clipboard malware and address poisoning can replace a copied address with a lookalike. Never select an address from transaction history by appearance alone.
Common mistakes
