Keep wallet QR codes clear, label the network and purpose, verify the destination manually, and avoid placing codes where tampering is easy.

Short answer

Keep wallet QR codes clear, label the network and purpose, verify the destination manually, and avoid placing codes where tampering is easy.

Why it matters

  • Label network and payment purpose
  • Verify encoded values before publishing
  • Avoid public placement where tampering is easy

What to know

QR codes are convenient for crypto and wallet workflows, but a wrong or tampered destination can be expensive.

Printed or shared codes should include enough context that a scanner knows what they are about to open or pay.

Teams should verify the encoded value before publishing, especially when the QR code appears in public materials.
