To transfer cryptocurrency to Swyftx, you will need to:

Step 2: Initiate the Transfer from Your External Wallet
Open your external wallet (e.g., Exodus, Trust Wallet, or hardware wallet).
Select the cryptocurrency you want to send.
Choose the Send or Transfer option.
Paste the Swyftx deposit address into the recipient field. - Avoid typing the address manually to prevent errors.

Best Practices for Secure Transfers
Send a Test Transaction: If you are transferring a large amount, send a small test transaction first to ensure everything is set up correctly.
