The most basic feature of any crypto wallet is to send blockchain native token. Although, because Aleo is a privacy oriented network, transferring tokens includes the extra consideration of choosing input and output tokens visibility.

How to receive credits?

To be able to receive credits from another Aleo account, one must give the sender their Aleo address identifying them on the network. To find this address:

1. Open Leo Wallet.
2. Select the desired account by clicking the current active account name on top left and selecting from the list.
3. Click on the "Receive" button in the Home panel.
4. Copy and transmit the Aleo address to the sender. You can also show the displayed QR code encoding the address.

How to transfer credits?

Once you have the recipient Aleo address, or the contact, you want to send credits to, you must choose wether to send from your public or private Aleo Credits balance. You also have to chose if you want to credit the receiver public or private Credits balance.

For a reminder, Public Credits are tokens visible by anyone having access to the public Aleo ledger, while your private Credits are only visible by you and people your shared your View Key with.
