Frequently asked questions
Answers for ephemeral accounts, wallets, claim safety, and what happens when a payment is unclaimed.
An ephemeral account is a temporary Stellar account created for a single payment. It is funded by the sender, and the payment is swept to the recipient’s wallet only after the recipient claims it.
Recipients do not need a wallet to receive the claim link or understand the payment. To complete the claim, they must submit a valid Stellar wallet address so the funds can be transferred into their own wallet.
If a payment is not claimed, the ephemeral account remains isolated and the funds stay there until the configured expiry or recovery process. This prevents the payment from being lost or mixed with other balances.
Yes. The ephemeral account is isolated for the payment, and the claim process requires a valid wallet address before funds are swept. No recipient private key is exposed by the payment creation flow.
