Bitcoin network wallet

Your BTC wallet on the main Bitcoin blockchain: balance, address, deposits, withdrawals and swaps.

This is your BTC balance on the original Bitcoin blockchain. It is the row labelled "Slower, high security" on the BTC tab of your Wallets page.

Transactions here are confirmed by the main Bitcoin network, so they take longer and cost a network fee. In return, this is the most widely supported route.

The wallet header

A breadcrumb at the top reads Wallets / Bitcoin. Tapping Wallets takes you back.

Beneath it sits Bitcoin wallet balance for this network alone, with your BTC amount, its approximate value underneath, and an eye icon to hide both.

Three actions sit on the right: Deposit, Withdraw and Swap.

Wallet details

The Wallet details panel holds everything someone needs in order to send you Bitcoin on this network.

  • Scan to deposit shows a QR code of the address, for scanning from another wallet app.

  • Network reads Bitcoin.

  • Asset reads BTC.

  • Wallet address shows your Bitcoin address, truncated in the middle, with Copy and View On-Chain.

View On-Chain opens the address in a public block explorer, so you can confirm a payment independently of Enta.

Sending to the wrong network

The panel carries a caution: only send BTC on the Bitcoin network to this address. Other tokens or networks may result in permanent loss.

In particular, this address will not receive funds sent over the Spark network. Spark uses a different address entirely, beginning with "spark".

Before you share an address, check you have copied it from this page and not from the Spark wallet.

Deposit, Withdraw and Swap

Deposit opens a short menu headed "Deposit To Bitcoin To…" with two ways to fund this wallet.

  • External wallet, "Receive from any crypto address", which uses the address and QR code above.

  • Bank account, "Fund via bank transfer", covered in the article on funding by bank transfer.

Withdraw opens a matching menu with the same two destinations: External wallet, "Send to any crypto address", and Bank account, "Withdraw to your bank". Both are covered in the Move Money articles on withdrawing to an external address and withdrawing to a bank.

Swap converts this Bitcoin into another asset, or moves it to the Spark network, without leaving Enta. The full walkthrough is in the article on wallet to wallet swaps.

Recent transactions

Recent transactions at the bottom lists activity for this network only. View All opens your complete history.

On a wallet you haven't used yet you'll see "Oops!! No transactions here". That is an empty state, not a problem.

Tap any row to expand it for the full detail, including the transaction hash and receipt.

Good to know

  • Transfers on the Bitcoin network need confirmations from the main blockchain, so a deposit here won't appear the instant it is sent.

  • If you need speed, the Spark network settles straight away and costs less. You can swap between the two inside Enta.

  • This address only accepts BTC on the Bitcoin network. A Spark address begins with "spark" and is a different address entirely.

  • If someone is sending to you, ask which network they are sending from before you give them an address.

  • Use View On-Chain to check a payment in a public block explorer rather than waiting on the app to update.
