Select the eye button on the balance card to turn on [discreet mode](/docs/bark-wallet/settings#display-units-and-price) and hide your balances and transaction amounts.

On-chain payments arrive in your [on-chain balance](#your-on-chain-balance) instead. ## Your on-chain balance Your on-chain balance can receive bitcoin from [on-chain payments](/docs/bark-wallet/send-receive#receive-bitcoin), [offboards](/docs/learn/offboard), and [emergency exits](/docs/learn/exit). It also covers the on-chain fees in the event you need to make an emergency exit. To move bitcoin into or out of your on-chain balance, use the on-chain option when making a [Receive](/docs/bark-wallet/send-receive#receive-bitcoin) or [Send](/docs/bark-wallet/send-receive#send-bitcoin). It's a good idea to maintain a small on-chain balance so that you can initiate an exit without delay if one is ever needed. That said, it's still perfectly viable to deposit on-chain bitcoin at the time of exit if you don't have any on hand—it just means one extra step when timing may matter. ## Pending sub-balances Bitcoin on the move shows as a pending sub-balance. It counts toward your main balance, but can't be spent until it settles. | Pending sub-balance | What it tracks | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Pending on-chain | An incoming on-chain payment awaiting confirmation. | | Pending change | Change from emergency exit fee transactions, awaiting confirmation. | | Pending board | An on-chain deposit [boarding onto Ark](/docs/learn/board). | | Pending in round | Bitcoin in a [refresh](/docs/bark-wallet/vtxos#the-wallet-app-refreshes-vtxos-for-you) that hasn't completed yet. | | Pending Lightning send | An outgoing Lightning payment that hasn't settled yet. | | Pending exit | Bitcoin pending the completion of an [emergency exit](/docs/learn/exit). | ## The next round countdown The card beside the balance counts down to the next [round](/docs/learn/rounds), which is when queued [refreshes](/docs/bark-wallet/vtxos#the-wallet-app-refreshes-vtxos-for-you) execute. ## History The history table mixes your payments with wallet maintenance. Maintenance entries (refreshes and exit fees) are hidden by default. Reveal them from the **Filters** menu. The **All**, **Ark**, **Lightning**, and **On-chain** tabs filter by network. Select a row to open the transaction details: * Where the bitcoin went or came from. * The fee. * Created and completed timestamps. * An editable label and tags. * A **Copy raw JSON** button for troubleshooting.
