What Is a Crypto Memo, Tag or Payment Reference?

A crypto memo, tag or payment reference is an extra identifier used by some assets and platforms to route a deposit to the right account. When one is required, the wallet address alone may not be enough, so copy every required field exactly.

Why it matters

A missing or wrong reference may delay or prevent correct routing.

Where to find it

Use the deposit screen inside the receiving platform, not a message or screenshot from someone else.

Best practice

Match the asset, network, address and memo before sending.
