Cryptocurrency wallet addresses are used to send and receive money on blockchain networks. These unique digital identifiers let people transfer funds securely. All wallet addresses have the same basic purpose: to handle transactions. That being said, there are different types of wallet addresses because blockchains work in different ways, and people have different needs for security, control, and convenience.

#1 Reason: Compatibility with Blockchain Networks

Different cryptocurrencies operate on separate blockchain networks (e.g., , , and others). Each blockchain has its unique wallet address format, and a specific wallet address is needed to store, send, and receive a particular cryptocurrency.

Every blockchain has its own standards for creating wallet addresses.These standards ensure compatibility and efficiency in the network:

  • Walletium Native - A unique address that begins with the letter "w," followed by 15 characters consisting of letters or numbers. This address can be used to send or receive funds within our system.

  • Bitcoin: Addresses may start with 1, 3, or bc1. These prefixes represent different formats like Legacy, SegWit, or Bech32.

  • Ethereum: All addresses start with 0x, indicating their use with Ethereum's smart contracts.

  • Other Blockchains: Solana, for example, uses a simpler base58 format to prioritize speed and efficiency.


#2 Reason : Key Storage

    • Automatically generated for you during registration.

    • Fully managed by the wallet, offering the easiest and fastest way to store, send, and withdraw assets.

    • Addresses created through the wallet interface on any of the supported blockchains. You can create as many deposit addresses as needed.

    • All funds sent to these addresses automatically go to your Native address for centralized management.

    • The user owns and controls the private key.

    • Designed for long-term storage or advanced users who prefer to store private keys independently and manually input them for each required operation.

    • The private key is shared between the user and the wallet. This applies to addresses imported from other wallets or exchanges, as well as addresses generated upon request, while ensuring the privacy of your key.

    • Allows full management of the address while keeping some level of shared access.

Depending on your level of experience and the amount of control you desire, you have the flexibility to choose a particular one* or use all the address types offered by our wallet. Keep in mind that inexperience can compromise transaction security and potentially lead to the loss of funds.


#3 Reason : Security & Convenience

    • Perfect for daily transactions

    • Easy to manage and ideal for storing small to medium amounts of cryptocurrency.

    • Best for long-term storage of large amounts. Since you alone own the private key, these addresses offer the highest level of security. Learn more about how to maximize the security of your private key storage here.

    • A middle ground, where both you and the wallet share control. Useful for imported addresses or collaborative setups.
