Keys and signing

What is a crypto wallet address?

A wallet address is the public identifier others use to send you funds, derived from your public key. It is safe to share. Formats differ by chain: 0x... on Ethereum and EVM networks, bc1... on Bitcoin, T... on Tron, a base58 string on Solana.

Why it matters

Transactions cannot be undone, so an address typed or pasted wrongly means funds sent to someone else. Attackers exploit this with clipboard malware and with look-alike addresses that match the first and last characters of one you use.

How Locker Protocol Wallet handles it

Locker Protocol Wallet shows your addresses on every supported chain from one recovery phrase. When you send, it warns you if the recipient looks like an address you know but differs, and the Vault shows the full recipient again before you sign.

Questions

Is it safe to share my wallet address?

Yes: it lets people send to you, not spend. Anyone who has it can also see the address's balance and history on the chain.

Why do I have different addresses on different chains?

Each chain family uses its own key type and format. EVM networks share one address, while Bitcoin, Solana, Cosmos, Tron and others each have their own, all derived from the same phrase.
