Address

An address is similar to a traditional bank account. It is a unique destination through which crypto users can send and receive digital currencies. It usually consists of alphanumeric keys. Unlike bank accounts, which are tied to personal information and managed by financial institutions, cryptocurrency addresses offer a higher degree of anonymity and are managed by users. A cryptocurrency address is typically a long string of alphanumeric characters that uniquely identifies the destination or source of a digital currency transaction. This string is derived from cryptographic keys, ensuring a secure way to execute transactions on the blockchain.
