The Right Wallet Address After a Cross-Chain Swap
After a cross-chain swap, use the destination-chain address you control and verify the route’s recipient, token, and network before treating the transfer as complete.

After a cross-chain swap, use the destination-chain address you control and that the route names as recipient. A swap moves value across networks; the source wallet address alone does not tell you where the output will arrive.
Which wallet address should I enter?
Enter an address for a wallet you can access on the destination network, unless the swap flow explicitly supplies and verifies another recipient. The recipient field may default to your connected wallet, or let you choose a different one. For more detail on route selection and recipient settings, see mayan bridge; the key is to check the destination before confirming.
How can I confirm the swap reached the right wallet?
Check for a completed transfer on the destination network to the recipient address shown in the route. A source-chain transaction confirms that the swap began, but it does not by itself confirm delivery.
Confirmed: the destination transaction shows the expected token arriving at the intended address. Still open: a pending route or a source-only receipt leaves delivery unconfirmed, so check the route status before acting again.
What should I check before approving?
Check the destination network and recipient address in the final review screen. Then confirm the output token and amount are what you expect.
- Make sure the wallet can access the destination network.
- Compare the recipient address with the address in your wallet.
- Check that the output token is supported by that wallet.
- Review any minimum output or fee shown before signing.
If you use a separate recipient, copy it from the destination wallet and verify the first and last characters after pasting. A small test transfer can help when sending a large amount, if the route supports it.
Can I reuse the same address on another network?
Reuse it only if your wallet supports that destination network and the address is valid there. Some wallets display the same address across multiple networks, but matching formats do not guarantee that the wallet can access or manage the received asset.
