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.
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.cashaddress. See Lightning. - Silent Payments — a static
sp1address you can post publicly; every payment lands at a fresh on-chain address. See 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.
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.
