FAQ

Can one address receive many deposits?

Yes — a static deposit address is built to receive many deposits. It is a standing receive endpoint that never expires and has no fixed amount, so the same address accumulates transfer after transfer over its whole lifetime, and each one credits the same balance. That is the defining contrast with an invoice address, which is single-use: minted for one specific payment with one amount and an expiry, and not meant to be reused once that payment is done. Choosing between them is really choosing whether the address is a long-lived account or a one-time slot.
