How to Send & Receive

Learn how to send and receive MINA

Prerequisites​

First, ensure you have installed a Mina wallet.

Receiving MINA​

To receive MINA, you must provide the unique address for your Mina account to the sender.

Here’s how to find your address within common wallets:

  • Auro - Open the wallet, tap “Receive”, and tap “Copy” to share your address or QR code representing this address.

note

To prevent spam, the Mina network charges a one-time account creation fee of 1 MINA. This fee is automatically deducted from the first transaction received.

Sending MINA​

When sending MINA, always double check that you have the correct Mina address for the recipient. Remember that transactions on the Mina blockchain are final and irreversible.

  • Auro - Open the wallet, tap “Send”, enter in the address, amount, and fee, and tap “Next” then “Confirm”.
