Ginco’s sharecards are one of the main features found within the Ginco app. Upon opening your Ginco wallet, you may notice the colorful cards displayed on your home screen. These cards represent an individual coin or token supported by Ginco. Feel encouraged to swipe through all of the options available. And if you want to add, sort, or hide these cards to better suit your preferences, you can do so by clicking “See all”.

To view your Sharecard, press “receive” on the coin or token you would like to use. This will bring up a similar looking card, only this time displaying your profile icon and a unique QR code. This is your sharecard, and it will be your best friend for receiving new digital currency!
