Wallet and security essentials: private keys and addresses
Think of an address as an account for receiving payments, and a private key as the only credential that lets you access the funds: you can share your account details with anyone, but only you should keep your private key safe.
To receive payments, you only need to provide your address. You should never share your private key or recovery phrase, under any circumstances.
