Will the QR also work for ERC-20 tokens (USDC, DAI)?

Yes for the address itself — any token sent to that address arrives. For amount-prefilled token transfers, you need EIP-681 URIs (which embed the token contract). EZQR encodes the basic ethereum: URI; advanced wallets can still send tokens to it.

Is the QR safe to share publicly?

An ETH address itself is public information — anyone can send to it. The QR doesn't expose anything that putting your address in a tweet wouldn't. Just don't put your private key in a QR. Ever.

Can I require a specific amount?

You can pre-fill an amount in the URI, but wallets let users edit it before signing. The amount is a suggestion, not a lock.

About Ethereum QR Codes

Generate a QR code for an Ethereum wallet address. Scanning opens the receiver's preferred wallet (MetaMask, Trust, Coinbase Wallet) with the address pre-filled — and optionally an amount in wei. Used for ETH and ERC-20 token receipts, NFT artist tip jars, and DAO contributions.

Walkthrough

How to Create a Ethereum QR Code

Paste your Ethereum address
Standard 0x... format. The QR encodes it as an ethereum: URI scheme so wallets parse it correctly.
Add an amount (optional)
Specified in wei (the smallest unit). Most wallets show the human-readable ETH equivalent at scan time.

Where it works

Ethereum QR Code Use Cases

NFT artists' tip jars on portfolio sites with QR for fans to send ETH directly without leaving the page

Crypto-conference badges with personal wallet QR for instant peer-to-peer transfers between attendees

DAO contribution posters at hackathons asking for ETH donations to a specific multisig

Independent journalist and creator tip pages with ETH alongside fiat options for crypto-native audiences

Charity drives where transparency matters — public ETH wallet QR plus a link to the on-chain history

What works in practice

Ethereum QR Code Best Practices

Triple-check the address before sharing the QR. ETH transactions are irreversible — a typo costs real money.

Use a checksummed address (mixed case) so wallets that validate checksums catch typos before sending.

Most wallets accept the bare address too, but the ethereum:0x... URI is more reliable for one-tap experiences.

If the wallet rotates (security best practice), update the QR. Use a dynamic QR for printed tip-jar materials.

Test the scan on multiple wallets — MetaMask, Trust, Coinbase, Rainbow. They handle the URI scheme slightly differently.
