Confluence IDs and payments

A Confluence ID is a short, readable name like @alice that points to your wallet. People can pay you using your ID instead of copying a 42-character address.

Claiming an ID

3 to 20 characters.
Lowercase letters, numbers and underscores only.
Tied to the wallet that claims it, and public, since others use it to pay you.

IDs are permanent. Once claimed, an ID can’t be changed, released or transferred to another wallet. Choose one you’re happy to keep.

IDs aren’t case-sensitive: @Alice and @alice are the same ID, and IDs are always shown in lowercase.

Paying an ID

The easiest way is the Pay page: type the ID, choose where you pay from, and confirm. Payments from Arc to an ID are free. Payments from another chain are bridges to Arc and carry the bridge fee.

You can also pay an ID from the Bridge page: turn on Send to another address and type the ID with the @, for example @alice. The USDC arrives on the destination chain you choose.

Either way, Confluence looks the ID up and only lets you continue when it resolves to a wallet, and the review screen shows the ID so you can double-check it.

Getting paid

Share your pay link or QR code from the Receive tab on the Pay page. Payments made on the Pay page arrive in your wallet on Arc. Payments to your ID appear in your Pay Activity under Received, with the sender’s ID if they have one, and bridges to your ID also appear in your Profile history.
