Choose Your Receiving Wallet Before Starting a Crypto Swap

Why choose the receiving wallet first

A swap sends the output coin to the wallet address you provide when you place the order. Before starting, check that you can access the wallet and that it supports the exact asset and network you plan to receive. A wallet that displays a token ticker may not support every version of that token or every network it uses.

For each order, ShadowSwap generates a one-time deposit address it controls. It holds the deposit only while processing the swap, then sends the output directly to the receiving address you provide. ShadowSwap never asks for your private keys. See how ShadowSwap works for the order steps.

Check the destination before creating an order

Use this checklist before entering a receiving address:

• Confirm the asset and network. Check the wallet’s receive screen for the precise coin and network. For tokens such as USDT, the ticker alone does not identify the network.
• Use an address generated by that wallet. Copy it from the wallet’s receive screen and verify that the displayed asset and network match your intended payout.
• Check any deposit requirements. Some wallets or services require a memo, tag, or other identifier for certain assets. Follow the destination’s instructions and make sure the order form supports any required information.
• Confirm you can access the wallet. Make sure you have the device, recovery method, or service access needed to use the wallet when the funds arrive.
• Review the address in the order form. Compare the beginning and end of the copied address with the wallet’s receive screen. Confirm a saved address is still correct for this asset and network before using it.

If you picked the wrong wallet or network

If you notice a mismatch before sending the deposit, pause and recheck the order details and the receiving wallet’s deposit instructions. If you already submitted the order, contact ShadowSwap support with the order information. Do not share private keys or recovery phrases. Recovery of a mistaken payout depends on the asset, network, and receiving wallet, so it may not be possible.

The swap takes the deposit network confirmations plus a manual payout sent by an admin. Keep your order details until the payout is complete.

When you’re ready, choose your pair and swap on ShadowSwap.
