Viewing your receiving address

To receive transfers into your CoinJar, you'll need to share your CoinJar's receiving address for that currency type. Your receiving address is an alphanumeric string of characters, which can safely be shared to anyone looking to send that type of cryptocurrency to your CoinJar.

Address requirements

Each different type of cryptocurrency has its own requirements when sending transfers. Because these requirements are often vital to your funds reaching their desired location, we've included a breakdown below for each of the cryptocurrencies supported by CoinJar. Whenever receiving any transfer with your CoinJar, please ensure to consider these requirements.

Receiving Payouts with CoinJar

Whereas most privately hosted cryptocurrency wallets use a single cryptocurrency address for both sending and receiving transfers, CoinJar uses many different addresses to send cryptocurrencies - not all of which will be associated with your personal CoinJar account. Most external services are automatically configured to return payouts to your sending address, and this can lead to funds not being credited to your account.

Due to this, we do not recommend you use your CoinJar for cryptocurrency mining or gambling websites - unless you can specify on that service which address your payouts will be sent to. Alternatively you can use a privately hosted wallet to receive payouts, and then transfer your funds to your CoinJar.

Receiving Bitcoin (BTC)

P2SH address format

As of March 12 2019, CoinJar utilises the P2SH format for all newly generated Bitcoin addresses. P2SH transactions are processed more efficiently through Segregated Witness (SegWit), which increases the transaction capacity of Bitcoin blocks.

Any receiving Bitcoin addresses you've generated within your CoinJar prior to this date (they will begin with "1" rather than "3") will continue to remain operational until 31 March 2021. We recommend using your new P2SH address rather that continuing to use previously generated addresses. Additionally, each CoinJar will generate a single receiving Bitcoin address for all incoming Bitcoin payments, rather than a new address each time.

Receiving Ether (ETH)

CoinJar supports deposits of ETH on the Ethereum network.

To view your ETH receiving address and ensure you're using the correct network, follow these steps in the CoinJar app:

1. If you're using CoinJar web, navigate to Home. If you're using CoinJar mobile app, select the Transfer button at the bottom of the screen.
2. Select Deposit Crypto
3. Choose ETH
4. At the "Network" section, select Ethereum
5. This action will display the receiving address for the selected network. Always copy the address directly from the app each time you send funds to ensure accuracy.

Receiving ERC-20 tokens

ERC-20 is the Ethereum token standard and currently supported for a limited range of tokens.  You should review CoinJar's Supported cryptocurrencies often. Any unsupported ERC-20 tokens sent to CoinJar-generated Ethereum addresses will be lost permanently and cannot be recovered.

Receiving Litecoin (LTC)

Segwit P2SH addresses vs. legacy P2SH addresses

At this point in time, CoinJar does not support legacy P2SH Litecoin addresses - instead opting to use Segwit P2SH addresses. Many other exchanges still don't support Segwit P2SH Litecoin addresses, and will refuse to send a Litecoin transfer to a CoinJar-generated Litecoin address for this reason. 

In this case, please use the official P2SH Litecoin address converter to exchange the Segwit P2SH Litecoin address generated by your CoinJar, into a legacy P2SH Litecoin address. 

CoinJar will always provide an "M" address - using "M" addresses eliminates the risk of accidentally confusing it with a bitcoin address, which can begin with a "3".

Official Litecoin P2SH Address Convertor

BECH32 address (any LTC address starting with LTC1) is also not supported.

Receiving XRP

Destination tags are a required component when receiving XRP transfers in your CoinJar's receiving address - as is the case with most receiving XRP addresses. Always ensure you include your destination tag when receiving XRP transfers into CoinJar.

Further information on destination tags can be found in the official documentation on the XRP Ledger website.

When generating your receiving XRP address, CoinJar's address format appends your destination tag to your XRP address. Some XRP transfer providers may not recognise this address format, in which case you should omit the separator ("?dt=") and enter your XRP address and destination tag separately. 

Receiving Stellar Lumens (XLM)

Stellar Lumens utilises Destination Tag technology and a Memo ID is required to send XLM to CoinJar. Omitting or using an incorrect Destination Tag / Memo ID will cause issues in crediting the transaction to your CoinJar account, and the funds may not be recoverable. 

Receiving Algorand (ALGO)

To receive ALGO from an Algorand wallet, simply paste in the address associated with your CoinJar account into the “To:” field when creating a transaction in the Algorand wallet. For more information, please see Algorand’s support articles.

Receiving Avalanche (AVAX)

When receiving AVAX to your CoinJar, you must only send AVAX on the C-Chain. Learn more on Avalanche's website.

CoinJar supports receiving of POL on the Polygon network.
