The transfers of cryptocurrencies in any network require a fee payment. However, this fee price can exceed the transfer
amount and reach several tens of dollars. WX Network minimizes the users' fee cost for transferring their tokens by
using a system of cryptocurrency bridges. What's more, BTC, ETH, USDT and many other cryptocurrencies can be transferred
from one account to another through the Waves network, omitting any operations via the native network. To carry out such
a transfer through the Waves network the Waves recipient address should be used, and here we go with it.
Transfers to/from WX Network account
How to receive cryptocurrency
To receive cryptocurrency from WX Network or MetaMask (with WAVES network adjusted) user just share your WX Network

want to receive and select the WAVES network. In the appeared window, you find the Waves address of your account in two
formats: Waves format and MetaMask format
If the sender is going to use WX Network to transfer cryptocurrency to your Waves.Exchange account, then provide him
with your Waves address in Waves format. If the sender is going to use the MetaMask extension (with the WAVES network
connected) to transfer cryptocurrency to you, then provide him with your Waves address in MetaMask format.
Attention: cryptocurrency transfer to an account address in MetaMask format not through the Waves network will be caused
a loss of funds. This method cannot be used for transferring tokens to third-party exchanges and wallets.
