Go from holding BCH to using it

A non-custodial wallet leaves the private keys under your control. Compare device support and workflow, then confirm CashTokens, token-aware addresses, and the dApp connection method you need.

Compare four wallet options

Before your first transaction

• Obtain wallets only from their official sites and back up the recovery phrase offline. No website or support agent should ask for it.
• Use a token-aware address to receive a CashToken, and send a small test first to confirm that the wallet displays the asset correctly.
• Wallet features change. Read the current official documentation and confirm your device and version before creating or importing a wallet.

CashLink does not hold your wallet, private keys, or recovery phrase. A lost backup usually cannot be recovered by the platform.

Start with enough BCH for a small test and network fees. Available methods depend on local law and services where you live; CashLink does not recommend a particular exchange.

• Receive a transferGive your BCH receiving address to someone you know and trust, and begin with a small test payment.
• Accept payment for goods or servicesAgree on the amount and address with the payer, then check the on-chain confirmation for a legitimate sale.
• Use a compliant local purchase serviceResearch services you may legally use and review KYC, regional restrictions, service fees, withdrawal fees, and minimum withdrawals.

Before moving funds to your wallet

• Confirm the Bitcoin Cash network and the complete receiving address; do not use another chain or an incompatible address.
• Make a small withdrawal first and confirm it in your non-custodial wallet before moving a larger amount.
• Keep a small BCH balance instead of converting all of it to tokens; CashToken transfers still need BCH network fees.

CashLink does not sell BCH and does not guarantee that any third-party purchase, transfer, or withdrawal service is available in your region.

Use ecosystem directories and the main Bitcoin Cash entry point to discover wallets, stores, payments, and developer tools, then browse this page by topic.

Third-party directories and services can change at any time. Verify the domain, URL, and current service status before use.

Explorers are read-only tools for checking on-chain data. They do not sign for you and cannot reverse a broadcast transaction. Review every item in your wallet before signing.

Pre-signing checklist

• The website domain and connected dApp are the ones you intended.
• The asset’s complete Category ID, not only its name or icon.
• The destination is the correct BCH or token-aware address.
• The exact amount paid, amount received, and minimum received.
• BCH network fees, service fees, and possible price impact.
• Every asset change and change address shown in the wallet preview.

Read-only chain lookups

A transaction generally appears only after your wallet broadcasts it. Display time and confirmation counts can vary by node; an explorer cannot sign or undo a transaction.
