How it looks in your wallet

'My Active' addresses

Remember: the wallet address data listed in transactions or address book does not reflect the address data stored on the blockchain.

'My Expired' addresses

Addresses expire after every sent transaction and become inactive. Conversely, you can receive payments with the same address a total of 10 times. Mobile Wallet addresses have a default expiration date of 24 hours

Always double-check that you are not using an expired address to receive or send your Beam coins.
