Mixin Messenger supports deposits and withdrawals for thousands of assets across multiple blockchains. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to help you securely fund your Mixin wallet.
Depositing crypto into Mixin is fee-free, meaning the amount you send is the amount that arrives.
Getting Your Deposit Address
Open the Mixin app and navigate to the wallet section. Select the asset you wish to deposit and tap the Deposit button to generate your unique deposit address.
Always check the minimum deposit amount displayed on this screen. Transfers below this limit will not be credited.
Entering the Address
Copy the address provided or scan the QR code. Then, paste this address into the withdrawal field on your exchange or external wallet (this example uses Binance).
For your first transaction, send a small test amount. Confirm it arrives before initiating larger transfers to avoid potential losses from incorrect addresses.
Be mindful of the minimum deposit requirement. Amounts sent below this threshold will not be processed.
Completing the Deposit
Once Mixin detects your transaction, the wallet will display a progress bar indicating confirmation status. The deposit is complete only after the progress bar reaches 100%.
Cryptocurrency deposits are not instant. Confirmation times vary by blockchain and can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. The appearance of the progress bar generally indicates a successful initiation—simply wait for it to complete.

Special Deposit Instructions
- Tag/MEMO Requirements
Some assets, like EOS and XRP, require both an address and a memo or tag for deposits. If these fields are displayed on the deposit page, they must be filled in accurately, or the funds will not be credited. - BTC Deposits
Mixin supports deposits via the Bitcoin network and SegWit (bc1q) addresses. It does not support the Lightning Network. When withdrawing from an exchange, ensure you select a compatible network. If your exchange doesn’t support bc1q addresses, you may need to use a legacy format.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if the exchange says the withdrawal was successful, but Mixin hasn’t received it?
This delay is usually due to one of two reasons. The transaction may still be awaiting the required number of blockchain confirmations. Alternatively, the amount sent might be below Mixin’s minimum deposit threshold.
Why hasn’t my deposit arrived even though the progress bar is complete?
This is typically a temporary delay caused by slow network synchronizations. The system will usually correct itself automatically—please allow some additional time.
What happens if I send the wrong type of cryptocurrency to my Mixin address?
Immediately contact Mixin’s customer support team for assistance. Recovery of incorrectly sent assets is not guaranteed and depends on the specific circumstances.
What if I forgot to include the MEMO/Tag for my deposit?
You must contact Mixin’s customer support as soon as possible. Providing them with the transaction details is crucial for them to attempt to credit the funds to your account.
