# Cryptocurrency address (`crypto_address`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Address that receives payments on a blockchain network. It is derived from a public key or a script and identifies an account or wallet without naming its owner. Each network has its own format; the registry describes them as separate datatypes: p2pkhaddr, p2shaddr, p2wpkhaddr, p2wshaddr and p2traddr (Bitcoin), ethereum_address (Ethereum and other EVM networks), litecoin_address, dogecoin_address, bitcoin_cash_address, tron_address, xrp_address, monero_address, solana_address and cardano_address. Use this record when only the field name tells that a value is an address.
