# Receive

> Get the next unused address of a wallet in Gerfaut with its QR code, skip ahead to another address, and audit every address the wallet revealed.

Get the next unused receive address of a wallet, with its QR code, and audit the addresses the wallet already revealed.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Verify the address on your signing device before you share it. A compromised phone or computer could show you an address that is not yours.

## Get an address

**1. Open the Receive page**

**Android**

Select **Receive** at the bottom of the wallet page.

**Desktop**

Select **Receive** in the sidebar.

**2. Check the address**

The card reads `Next unused address · index N`, the address and its `Derivation path`, such as `m/84'/0'/0'/0/5`. A wallet that watches one address reads `Watched address` instead, with no path. Select the QR code to enlarge it.

**3. Select Copy address**

The button reads `Copied` for a moment.

**Android**

**Desktop**

## Skip to another address

Select **Next address** to skip ahead one unused address at a time, and **First unused** to come back. Skipping marks nothing as used. An address counts as used once a transaction pays it, even before it confirms.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Past the gap limit, other wallet software may not see coins sent to that address. The gap limit is 20 by default. Change it in **Settings** > **Wallets**.

**Android**

## Audit the revealed addresses

Two cards follow: `External` for receive addresses and `Change` for the change of outgoing transactions. Each row shows the index, the address, a `Used` or `Fresh` pill and the balance on it. Select **Show all** to see more than five rows, up to the first 200 addresses.

A wallet that watches one address has a single `Watched address` card instead. See [Watch an address](/docs/wallets/watch-an-address#know-what-an-address-cannot-do).
