Public Key

A string of characters that acts as your crypto address, similar to a bank account number. You can share your public key freely so others can send you cryptocurrency. It is mathematically derived from your private key, but the private key cannot be reverse-engineered from it.

Example

To receive Bitcoin, share your public key (wallet address) with the sender.
