Adding unit next to address

It's not clear this address is for xDAI, it should be very clear that you need to send xDAI explicitly to this address not Ether not DAI.

An ethereum keypair works across networks so technically you are fine sending ETH or DAI to the account, but you're right we should make it obvious that it is xDai. I'll take this one as help wanted and hope a designer comes up with an intuitive way to do this.

I was trying out the burner wallet and also found this very confusing. A good way to solve this (i.e. making sure the person depositing knows what to deposit) could be to use a logo in the middle of the QR code.

Not sure if the QR encryption and reader library you are using supports this, but it seems to work fine for many other apps.

You could also use this to make the "Receive" part easier for noobs. You could show three different QR codes for ETH, DAI or XDAI on the same page. The user can decide what currency to receive in, and it is converted to xDai in the back through uniswap/xDai bridge

This way a noob showing the QR code to someone else can't do much damage as it would contain the currency. The person sending the funds can easily see what the QR code is for.
