Finding your Algorand Address on Pera Wallet




Background Info



◾️An address is the public identifier of an account. You can think of this as analogous to a bank account number or a phone number (for certain payment apps such as Venmo, etc.). Each account's address will look something like this:

RL6VDLXCN5G7N2GRTS7YLVDSFT4PVBBUOVTVS7T26OQ5MLXYQKRMI5ADXY

◾️You'll use this address to deposit Algos and other assets to your Pera Algo Wallet. You'll also use this to share with other people or apps if they want to send you assets. These addresses can be shared via copy/paste or by sharing a QR representation of the address (as you'll see below).


How to find an account's address?



On the Accounts view, locate an account in your Pera Algo Wallet. In this example, we'll share an address of an account called "QKZ6V2..2IHHJA"

Tap the account name




From here, tap Share tree dots on the top right corner (Green highlight on the picture below)




From here, you can copy your wallet address. or tap Show QR Code to display and share your QR code.



If you tap Show QR Code on the previous step, the Pera wallet will display this screen. You'll be able to copy/paste the account Algorand Wallet address or share the QR code




Additional Notes:

Always use copy and paste (or QR share) when sending/sharing your address. Manually typing out the address is extremely error prone and can cause loss of funds.
