Most receive screens have a QR code. Most people scan it and move on. Worth knowing what's actually in it.
In Nintondo, the receive QR encodes one thing: your public receive address - the destination for the payment.
What Nintondo's receive QR doesn't encode:
→ Your private key
→ Your identity, name, or contact information
→ Your other addresses on this or any other chain
→ Anything about your full wallet's balance or contents
A QR with a private key is a different thing - closer to a paper-wallet QR - and dangerous to share.
When sharing is usually fine:
→ Person-to-person: in chat, in person, scanning from your screen
→ Anywhere the sender already knows they should be paying you
When sharing can leak context:
→ Public posts: anyone watching that address on an explorer can see receives, spends, and balance/history tied to that address
→ Repeated use of the same address across separate situations: links those situations on-chain
→ Screenshots that include surrounding UI: may leak balance, app, chain, account name, or other addresses
What to do if you share frequently:
→ Use a fresh receive address when available, or a separate account for separate external contexts
→ Crop screenshots carefully - the receive QR may be fine for that context, the rest of the screen might not be
→ Treat your address like an email: not secret, but linkable
The QR is a public payment target. The address itself is not a secret - but how often and where you hand it out is part of your privacy.
