Address
A unique alphanumeric identifier used to send and receive cryptocurrency.
A blockchain address is a string of characters derived from a public key that acts as a destination for cryptocurrency transactions — similar to a bank account number. Addresses are pseudonymous: they're publicly visible on the blockchain but not inherently tied to a real-world identity. Most blockchains use different address formats; Ethereum addresses start with '0x', while Bitcoin uses Base58Check or Bech32 encoding.
