A wallet address is like an account number for crypto. Anyone can send to it, but only the key holder can spend from it.

Public address vs private key

Supported CardCashGo addresses

Use your BTC address on Bitcoin, your ETH address on Ethereum mainnet, and your USDT-TRC20 address on TRON mainnet. TRON addresses start with T. USDT on ERC-20 or any other network is not supported.
