# Receiving Tokens

Hinkal Wallet has two account types: **Private** and **Public**.\
How you receive funds depends on which account you are using.

### Receiving into your Private account

Use this when you want funds to remain **confidential**.

You have three ways to receive: payment link, QR code, private address

#### 1. Payment Link

The sender opens the link, connects their wallet, and sends funds.

Funds arrive directly in your Private balance, already shielded.

### Receiving into your Public account

A standard-looking `0x…` address that behaves exactly like an EOA. Use this when you need a **standard on-chain transfer**.

#### Public address

Copy your Public address or share the QR code.

Anyone can send funds from any wallet.

**Result:**\
Funds arrive in your Public balance as a normal on-chain transfer.
