Creating a deposit address

To receive a deposit, you need a deposit address for that asset. Creating a deposit address generates a new wallet and prompts you to download the encrypted wallet key. An encrypted wallet key can be decrypted and exported if you choose to import the wallet into another service provider.
The encrypted wallet key is NOT sensitive unless decrypted. Only administrators can decrypt the wallet key to import it into another wallet service provider.

Getting a deposit address (iOS)

Download the encrypted wallet key

Tap Download wallet key (or tap Why does this matter to learn more). Choose your save method—for example, tap Save to files. If you already have wallet keys downloaded, select Keep both and rename them.

After saving your wallet keys and tapping Continue, select the wallet to view its address. Copy or share the deposit address or QR code with the sending party.

Requesting new asset support

Porto supports hundreds of assets, including all ERC-20 and SPL tokens—even those not explicitly listed in the app.
1

Search for the asset

In the iOS app, go to Settings and tap Supported assets. Search for the asset by name or symbol.
2

Submit a support request

You can self-custody all ERC-20 and SPL assets, including assets not shown in the app. For faster processing, include the token’s contract address in your request.

2

Search for the token

Search for the token using its name or symbol.
