🔍Fetch your Venmo ID

Off-ramping requires submitting Venmo IDs on-chain so the on-rampers knows where to send the payment. A Venmo ID is a unique identifier (e.g. 1234567891011121314 up to 19 digits) for your Venmo account that is separate from your handle (@Venmo-User). You can look up your Venmo ID using one of the following methods:

From raw email

  1. Open any Venmo payment receipt email and click on 'Show original' and search for user_id. As of writing these instructions [4/30/2023], you should be able to locate your id in multiple places but may need to splice the 3D encoding in front of the id.

To verify your id, you can go to https://venmo.com/code?user_id=[YOUR_VENMO_ID] and the page should resolve to a profile for your account.
