Can I Receive Crypto to My Cold Wallet?

Pluang's crypto receive feature accepts deposits from both cold wallet and hot wallet sources, so a sender moving crypto out of a hardware or offline wallet can send it into your Pluang account using the normal receive flow. Pluang doesn't treat cold-wallet transfers differently — the wallet type on the sending side doesn't change what you do to receive. The rule that decides success is the same one that applies to every deposit: the network the sender selects must match the network shown on your Pluang receive screen for that asset, the address must be copied exactly, and any required memo or destination tag must be included. Because on-chain transfers are irreversible, verify all of these before the sender confirms. If you're the one holding a cold wallet, note that a Pluang deposit address lives on-platform under Pluang's custody, not on your cold-storage device.

• No special handling for cold wallets. Pluang doesn't restrict or alter the receive flow based on whether the sender is using a cold (offline/hardware) wallet or a hot (online) wallet — the same steps apply either way.
• Network match is the deciding factor. The network the sender chooses on their wallet must match the network on your Pluang receive screen for that asset. A cold wallet often supports several networks, so the sender must pick the right one.
• Copy the address and any memo/tag exactly. Confirm the exact deposit address on the receive screen, and include a memo or destination tag if the coin requires one. A correct address on the wrong network still fails.
• Irreversibility applies regardless of wallet type. Whether the crypto comes from cold or hot storage, an on-chain transfer can't be reversed, so a wrong network or address is generally unrecoverable. Prevention is the only reliable safeguard.
• A Pluang deposit address is not your cold wallet. Receiving "to Pluang" credits the asset into your Pluang account under Pluang's custody; it does not deposit into your personal cold-storage device. Moving crypto out to your own cold wallet is a separate Crypto Send action.
• A test transfer is sensible for large moves. Sending a small amount from the cold wallet first, confirming it credits, then sending the rest helps catch a network or address mistake before committing a large balance.

Q: Does receiving from a cold wallet require anything different on my end?
No. The receive process on Pluang is identical whether the sender uses a cold wallet or a hot wallet — you open the receive screen for the coin, confirm the network and any memo or tag, and share your deposit address. Pluang doesn't add extra steps for cold-wallet sources. The only thing that changes between deposits is the specific network and address for the asset, which you should always verify fresh in the app.

Q: What's the most important thing to confirm before receiving from a cold wallet?
That the network the sender selects on their cold wallet matches the network shown on your Pluang receive screen for that asset, and that the deposit address is copied exactly. Cold wallets often support multiple networks, so the sender must choose the correct one. If the coin requires a memo or destination tag, include that too. Because transfers are irreversible, a mismatch generally can't be undone.

Q: Can I receive any crypto asset from a cold wallet?
You can receive any asset that Pluang's crypto receive feature supports, provided the sender's cold wallet supports the same network for that coin. The limiting factor isn't the wallet being cold — it's whether both sides share a compatible network for the specific asset. Open the receive screen for the coin in the Pluang app to confirm the supported network before the sender withdraws from their cold wallet.

Q: Is receiving to Pluang the same as depositing into my own cold wallet?
No. When you receive crypto to Pluang, the asset is credited into your Pluang account and held under Pluang's custody — it does not land on your personal cold-storage device. If your goal is to hold crypto in your own cold wallet, that's a different action: you'd use Crypto Send to move an asset out of Pluang to your cold wallet's address. Receiving and self-custody storage are separate flows.

Q: Does a wrong network still lose funds if the sender used a cold wallet?
Yes. The wallet type on the sending side doesn't change how blockchains work — an on-chain transfer over the wrong network is irreversible and generally unrecoverable whether it originated from a cold or hot wallet. Contact Pluang Care with the details if a mistake happens, but there's no guaranteed recovery. The reliable protection is to match the network and address on the receive screen before the sender confirms.
