Wallet numbers and crypto addresses
Volet.com wallets can have both a wallet number and one or more crypto addresses.
They are used for different types of transfers:
- Use a wallet number for transfers within Volet.com.
- Use a crypto address to receive cryptocurrency from an external blockchain wallet or service.
Wallet number
A wallet number identifies your wallet inside Volet.com.
You can use it to:
- Receive transfers from other Volet.com users.
- Send funds between Volet.com accounts.
- Receive funds from platforms or exchangers that support withdrawals directly to Volet.com wallets.
A wallet number is not a blockchain address and cannot be used for a regular on-chain crypto transfer.
Where to find your wallet number
- Open the required wallet from the main wallet menu.
- Your wallet number is shown at the top of the page or screen.
Use this number when another Volet.com user or a supported third-party service asks for your Volet.com wallet number.
Crypto address
A crypto address is an address on a blockchain that is linked to your Volet.com crypto wallet.
You can use it to receive cryptocurrency from:
- External crypto wallets.
- Exchanges.
- Other blockchain services.
Unlike a wallet number, a crypto address is used for an on-chain transaction.
Permanent crypto addresses
After completing verification, you can create permanent crypto addresses linked to supported Volet.com crypto wallets.
A permanent address remains associated with your wallet and can be reused for future deposits in the supported asset and network.
To find permanent addresses linked to a crypto wallet:
- Open the crypto wallet.
- Go to Settings.
- Review the list of addresses linked to the wallet.
Depending on the wallet and network, you may also be able to create additional addresses.
You can also select Receive via address from the crypto wallet. If a permanent address has already been created for the selected asset and network, it is shown there.
A crypto wallet can have more than one address
A single Volet.com crypto wallet may have several permanent blockchain addresses.
For example:
- A stablecoin wallet may have separate addresses for each supported blockchain network.
- Bitcoin and Litecoin wallets may allow you to create multiple permanent addresses.
Always use an address that matches the cryptocurrency and blockchain network you are sending on.
Do not send cryptocurrency to an address on a different blockchain network.
For example, if you are sending USDT on Tron, use the address provided for the Tron network. Using an address for another network may result in loss of funds.
Temporary crypto addresses
Not every crypto deposit uses a permanent address.
Volet.com may generate a temporary address for a specific deposit operation, for example when:
- You deposit cryptocurrency and have it converted and credited to a fiat or stablecoin wallet.
- The selected deposit flow requires a one-time or operation-specific address.
Use the address shown for that specific deposit operation.
A temporary deposit address should not be treated as your permanent wallet address unless the interface explicitly identifies it as a permanent address.

Which one should I use?
Use your wallet number when:
- Another Volet.com user is sending funds to you.
- A platform or exchanger supports withdrawals directly to a Volet.com wallet.
- You are making an internal Volet.com transfer.
Use a crypto address when:
- Someone is sending cryptocurrency to you from an external wallet.

- You are making a regular blockchain transfer to your Volet.com crypto wallet.
If Volet.com generates an address as part of a specific deposit flow, use the address shown for that operation.
