Managing your Swaply account

In this section, we'll explore the Swaply account interface so you can understand what each item on the app does.

Use the numbers on the image to quickly find the individual results descriptions below.

Manage > Deposit Tab

#1 Show/Hide Address

Clicking the "eye" button toggles the visibility of your crypto wallet address.

When hidden, the address field will be masked with asterisks (****) for safety.

#2 Chain Selection

Select the chain you wish to interact with. See the Supported Chainspage for a list of chains that Swaply currently supports.

#3 In-App Address

Your in-app wallet address is called an "embedded wallet." It is created on your behalf and then assigned to your Swaply account. This wallet address is yours and yours alone, and resides on the blockchain which means it is non-custodial.

A crypto wallet address is like an account number for your cryptocurrencies. It's a unique string of letters and numbers that you can share with others to receive crypto, similar to how you'd give your bank account number to someone to deposit money.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Think of it like an email address: Just like your email address allows people to send you messages, your wallet address allows people to send you cryptocurrency.

  • Public and safe to share: Your wallet address is public information, kind of like your email address. It's safe to give out to anyone you want to receive crypto from.

Example of what an address looks like:

  • 0x14536667Cd30e52C0b458BaACcB9faDA7046E056

Note: Swaply does not own or manage your wallet address. We are simply an interface that uses the wallet address that belongs to you.

#4 Add Funds

Funding a crypto wallet address isn't actually about putting money directly into the wallet itself. Imagine your wallet is more like a fancy mailbox for your cryptocurrencies. It can't hold the actual crypto, but it has an address where you can receive them and a key to unlock and send them out.

Funding your crypto wallet is like putting money into your bank account so you can use your debit card.
