An Ethereum wallet address is a public identifier – like an account number – that others use to send crypto to you. Sharing it is safe. It gives no one access to your funds.
An Ethereum wallet address is a unique string of characters that represents your wallet on the blockchain. It's generated from your public key when you create a wallet – in EXTRA SAFE's case, that happens automatically when you set up the app and activate the wallet.
Think of it like a bank account number: public by design, safe to share, and meaningless without the corresponding private key that only you hold. Anyone can send funds to your address; only your private key can move them out.
In EXTRA SAFE, you rarely need to think about wallet addresses directly. When you send crypto to a contact inside a chat, their EXTRA SAFE number handles the routing – no address to copy, or character string to verify. Wallet addresses become relevant when you're interacting with external wallets or services outside the app.
