Receiving Crypto
To receive crypto in your Enkrypt wallet, all you need is your account address for the appropriate networks. For all networks, the address and its QR code are easily accessible in the extension.
If you’re expecting incoming crypto to your Enkrypt address but have trouble finding it in the extension, make sure you know which network it was sent on and check the corresponding ‘Assets’ page in the extension.
Not seeing a specific token that you have? You may need to add it as a custom token. For Enkrypt browser wallet, you can add the custom token directly in the extension. Just click 'Add custom token' at the bottom of the list of your tokens, and add the token contract address. You can find the token contract on a block explorer like ethVM.
Safety tip: If someone is sending crypto to your wallet, the sender should ONLY need the address for your wallet in order to complete the transaction. NEVER provide your recovery information (private key, recovery phrase, etc) for anyone! If someone is saying that they need that information in order to send crypto to your wallet, it’s a scam.
To see your receiving address:
Unlock your Enkrypt wallet using your password.
If you’re a first time user and need help with creating and downloading Enkrypt, check out ‘Enkrypt: Create/ Restore a wallet and Buy crypto’.
Make sure that you’re on the intended network then click ‘Deposit’. You can also click on the ‘Copy’ or the ‘QR code’ icon in the top right corner.
For more info about Networks and how to change them on Enkrypt, see ‘Enkrypt: Connecting to networks and DApps’.
Your receiving address will show, as well as the QR code for that account address.
From here, you have the option to ‘Copy’, ‘Share’ or have the QR code scanned directly.
The ‘Copy’ option allows you to copy your account address to your clipboard.
The QR code can be scanned by a wallet app or mobile device. It serves for easier transactions if you’re near the sender.
Once the transaction has completed by the sender, you should be able to see the new crypto in the ‘Assets’ section of your Enkrypt wallet.
Sending crypto using Enkrypt:
Sending crypto on Enkrypt is simple, but there are important things to keep in mind:
Network transaction fees will be associated with every transaction, and those fees are not determined or collected by MEW.
For more information about gas/ transaction fees, see What is Gas?.
For assistance with buying crypto on Enkrypt, take a look at ‘Enkrypt: Create/Import a wallet and Buy crypto’.
All transactions are FINAL after they have been completed so please make sure to double check everything before sending.
When sending on other networks, please keep in mind that the transaction fee will be required in that network's native currency.
To send your crypto:
Choose the network that you’re sending your crypto from then click on ‘Send’
For help with switching networks, see ‘Enkrypt: Connecting to networks and DApps’.
Pick one of the available addresses that you want to send crypto from.
Click in the ‘TO’ field to either pick one of the addresses from the dropdown (recently used addresses and added accounts in the extension) or paste the address that you’re sending to (within the same network). You can also enter an ENS domain or Unstoppable Domains name (like 'myaddress.eth' or 'myaddress.crypto', for example).
If you need to move funds between networks (like from Ethereum to Polygon or Ethereum to Base) you will need to use the swap feature or a bridging web DApp rather than sending. See the Swap Crypto section below for help with that.
Avoid manually typing in the address to ensure there are no errors. Transactions are final so entering an address incorrectly can result in a loss of crypto.
Select the crypto that you want to send from the drop-down menu and enter the amount that you’re trying to send (we're sending sETH2 in this example).
To send the full balance, click ‘Max’.
Choose your transaction speed from the options provided.
For more information about Gas and transaction fees, see 'What is Gas'.
Review your transaction and if everything looks correct, click on ‘Confirm and Send’.
Allow some time for your transaction to process before seeing your balance update.
To double-check, feel free to track the transaction in the ‘Activity’ tab or pull the transaction up on a blockchain explorer.
Swapping crypto using Enkrypt
Enkrypt is partnered with the leading exchanges to bring you competitive price points for your swaps across multiple chains. In just a few steps, users can swap different currencies directly across Ethereum and other blockchains.
Before swapping, please keep in mind that swaps require gas so it's important to make sure that you have enough crypto to cover gas fees. If you need to buy some crypto, check out the following article: Enkrypt: Create/Import a wallet and buy crypto.
To swap your crypto:
Enter your Enkrypt password to unlock your wallet.
Select the account and the network that you want to swap from then click on the ‘Swap’ icon.
For assistance with changing networks on Enkrypt, see: Enkrypt: Connecting to networks and DApps.
Keep in mind that Swaps are not yet supported on all networks. If you receive an error when trying to swap, you can instead connect your Enkrypt wallet to a web decentralized exchange that supports the desired network.
Search for and select the crypto that you want to swap. You can also search by the token’s contract address if you have it.
Enter the amount that you want to swap.
To swap the full balance, click on ‘MAX’.
Choose the crypto that you want to swap to. The amount you’re getting in the swap should then auto-generate.
If you’re swapping to tokens in a different network, make sure to include the receiving address for that wallet as it may be a different format from the original network address.
Select the account that you want the swapped tokens to be sent to.
Click on ‘Preview Swap’ to review your swap details, and to allow Enkrypt to find the best swap rate offers for you.
You should now be looking at the best swap offers from our swap providers. This offer will explain the exact amount of crypto that you’ll be receiving in the swap and also shows a breakdown of the rates and fees.
To see all options for swap rates, click on 'Other offers'.
Choose your transaction speed by using the dropdown menu next to ‘Fee’. The speed it selected by default, but you have the option of selecting a faster transaction (for a higher fee) or a slower transaction speed to save on fees.
For more information about transaction fees and speeds, see ‘What is Gas’.
Review your Swap details then click ‘Proceed with Swap’ if everything looks good.
The swap has been initiated. Click on 'Finish' to return back to your Enkrypt dashboard.
The speed of the transaction is dependent on the speed you chose and the overall volume of traffic in the blockchain, so please allow time for your swap to process.
The swap transaction will appear in the 'Activity' section of both the sending and receiving accounts for the swap (if different). If the token was swapped to a different network, make sure to switch over to the appropriate account to see the incoming crypto.
