Refs: Release 3.0.0 thread

What happened?

A tester sent USDT to their Bitkit USDT receive address on Ethereum mainnet instead of Arbitrum One. Bitkit receives USDT on Arbitrum One only, so the deposit never showed up. The address is an EOA, so the funds are recoverable with the wallet's key, but the app gave no clear warning about the network. Copying the address from the main receive view also copied the payment link rather than the address (#995), which pushes users to type or pick the network themselves.

Expected behavior

The USDT receive screen states plainly, next to the address and in the copied/shared text, that only USDT on Arbitrum One is supported and that USDT sent on other networks will not appear in Bitkit.

Bitkit Version

3.0.0 RC2.

    Design input from the release thread:

    • Users expect one USDT address to work on any network (thread), so the network should be clear on the default receive screen, not only in the picker.
    • Option A: force an explicit network choice before showing an address, as most EVM wallets do (thread); design input pending from Aldert.
    • Option B: default to the most widely used network (thread).

    More design input from the release thread:

    • Exodus is a reference for presenting stablecoin networks (thread).
    • Why Arbitrum is the hub and other networks are routed through deposit addresses: @ben-kaufman's explanation (thread).

    Also from the release thread: the warning must say only USDT is supported, so other stablecoins sent to this address won't arrive either (thread).
