Currenly, you can only share your multi-chain addresses from the Status mobile app.

If you use a multi-chain address to send or receive crypto, you can choose faster and cheaper blockchains, such as Arbitrum or Optimism. This helps you save on gas fees and complete transactions more quickly.

info

Only share your multi-chain address with someone whose wallet supports the same networks. If their wallet doesn't support these networks, they can't send or receive assets correctly using your multi-chain address.

The key difference between your legacy and multi-chain addresses is that your multi-chain address lists the blockchain networks you want to receive crypto on.

These illustrations show examples of address configurations in the Status multi-chain wallet.
