If you are not familiar with this feature, a paper wallet is a physical way to store digital assets. You can load any amount of crypto on a wallet like that and whoever has the piece of paper with the private keys can easily redeem the funds. Once the wallet is made and you have sent funds to it, it is essentially like cash, so remember to take any precautions necessary to ensure it stays safe until needed.

Generating a Red Envelope couldn’t be easier. Once you click on the ‘Create one’ button all you have to do is move the cursor around for a short while to create generate randomness and the service will quickly create a new wallet address for you. Then you simply select the Chinese New Year 2020 limited edition design, customize it as you see fit, print it out and that’s it: three simple steps and you’re good to go.

How to Redeem or Safely Store a Paper Wallet

On the receiving side, redeeming bitcoin cash from a Red Envelope is quite easy. If they don’t already have one, they will need to download a crypto wallet that supports Bitcoin Cash and just use the app to scan the QR code of the private key on the Red Envelope. The funds can then be swept from the Red Envelope to the digital wallet.

If they want to redeem the Red Envelope right away, they can either download the Bitcoin.com Wallet desktop app or the Electron Wallet desktop app. Alternatively, if they are not in a rush to redeem the Red Envelope, they can wait until we release a new version of the Bitcoin.com Wallet app for mobile which supports this function (coming soon).

The paper wallet itself should be stored in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box or a room only the owner has access to, where it can’t be hurt by fire or flooding just as you would store fiat paper cash worth the same amount.
