Compatible Crypto Wallets
Bead is wallet-agnostic: any wallet that can
scan the QR code we provide, and
broadcast the exact asset on the correct network to the destination address
will complete the payment successfully.

Minimum wallet capabilities
QR scanning
Bead encodes the payment address (and invoice for Lightning) in QR form.
Exact-amount send
Customer must match the requested crypto amount to avoid underpaid / overpaid states.
Network switch
Sandbox uses testnets (Sepolia, Amoy, Lightning Testnet); the wallet must let the user change networks.
Timely broadcast
Payment windows range from 2 – 10 minutes; wallets that delay broadcasts can trigger expired status.
Unsupported or caution-flagged wallets
Wallets without testnet support
Cannot be used in Sandbox QA flows.
Custodial “layer-3” solutions that only support internal transfers
Unable to broadcast on-chain transactions to Bead’s address.
As new assets and networks are added, this page will be updated. Treat unknown tender types or networks as unsupported until documented here.
