Receiving Crypto

Once you've created an account, you can receive cryptocurrency to it — including how to accept Canton tokens (e.g. EDEL) that need to be signed before they show up.

How to Receive Crypto on Bron:

On Desktop:

  • Navigate to the Receive section:

    • On the web platform, go to the right-hand sidebar and click the "Receive" button.

  • To receive crypto to one of your hidden accounts, first enter your PIN into the search bar to unhide it.

  • Select Your Account:

    • Choose the account you want to top up.

  • Obtain Your Wallet Address:

    • After selecting your account, your wallet address will be displayed on the screen. This will be shown both as a QR code and as a plain text address.

    • You just need to select the proper network. For example, if you want to receive USDT, you need to know and select the correct network to avoid loss of assets.

  • Send Your Crypto:

    • Scan the QR code with your wallet app, or copy the plain text to your wallet.

    • Send your cryptocurrency to the provided address to complete the transfer.

On Mobile:

  • Obtain your wallet address:

    • Click the Receive button in your account dashboard and select the asset you need.

    • You can also tap an asset's amount by network in your holdings — it opens the receiving address for that network right away.

    • Select the correct network. For example, if you want to receive USDT, you must select the correct network to avoid loss of assets.

    • Your wallet address will be displayed on the screen, shown both as a QR code and as a plain text address that can be copied to your clipboard.

  • Send your crypto:

    • Scan the QR code with your wallet app, or copy the plain text address into your wallet.

    • Send your cryptocurrency to the provided address to complete the transfer.

All networks support all tokens, so if you want to receive USDT on Ethereum — just select the ETH address.
You can receive any token on the selected networks. Received tokens will be visible in your holdings.

Networks That Need a One-Time Activation

On a few networks the wallet or the token must be activated before it can receive anything. You do this once: go to Receive, select the account and the network, and click Activate.

  • Hedera (HBAR) — the wallet itself needs activation. Bron creates the native 0.0.x address for you on the network; it takes a few minutes and no signature is required. Nothing is taken from your balance: the network cost of creating the address is added on top of your first outgoing transaction (≈0.8 HBAR in fees, while every later transaction is ≈0.002 HBAR). Once active, the wallet receives HBAR at both the native 0.0.x address and the EVM-alias 0x… address. Each HTS token must be activated too before you receive it — exchanges require the token to be pre-activated on the receiving wallet. Wallet activation is available on any paid plan (not on Trial) and in sandbox workspaces.

  • Ripple (XRP) — XRP itself needs no activation, but every XRP token does, and it locks a 0.2 XRP reserve — see XRP & Token Support on Bron.

  • Stellar (XLM) — XLM itself needs no activation, but every Stellar token does (the network calls this a trustline), and it locks a 0.5 XLM reserve on top of the 1 XLM base account reserve — see XLM & Token Support on Bron.

  • Canton — the address is created and activated with your signature, and some tokens have to be accepted manually — see below.

Accepting Incoming Transfers

Some networks require you to explicitly accept an incoming transfer before it is credited to your balance. If an incoming transfer needs your action, it will appear in your Transactions list with an Accept prompt. The main example today is the Canton network — see below.

Receiving Canton Tokens (why a Canton transfer may not show up yet)

If you sent a Canton-network token — for example EDEL, or Canton Coin — and it is not showing in your holdings, it is almost always because the transfer is waiting for you to accept it, not because it is lost. Receiving on Canton works differently from other networks: the network uses a dual-signature model, so an incoming transfer must be signed by both the sender and the recipient.

Note: Some Canton tokens require manual acceptance by default. These tokens must be accepted and signed by you before they are credited to your wallet. Until you do, the transfer sits as a pending offer and the balance will not appear.

To accept an incoming Canton token transfer:

  1. Open the Bron desktop or mobile app. Accepting requires signing, so it can't be completed from the web view — you'll be prompted to open the app.

  2. Go to your Dashboard and open Transactions.

  3. Find the incoming transfer marked as requiring acceptance and click it.

  4. In the pop-up, click Accept.

  5. Click Sign to confirm.

💡 A few things to know:
First time receiving a particular token? Accepting it may add a quick one-time activation step (an extra signature) before the transfer is credited — this is normal.
Accept promptly. A pending transfer offer expires after about 10 days; if it expires, the assets return to the sender and they'll need to send again.
Can't see the transfer? Turn off the spam filter (Transactions → "•••" → disable spam filter), and if the receiving account is hidden, enter your PIN to unhide it.
