Watch out

Nothing specific to this format. The general rule below still holds.

What this does not proveA valid format only means the address is well-formed. It does not show who controls it or that it is the address the recipient gave. Compare the whole address with the source and send a small test amount first.

What is checked

  • kaspa: + a CashAddr-style string: version character (q public key, p script hash), payload and an 8-character 40-bit checksum.
  • The prefix is part of the checksum; kaspatest: is the test network.

Specification: rusty-kaspa: address encoding

No public example address is given here: the specification prints none, and a private person's address is never used as an example.

FAQ

Is a Kaspa address the same format as Bitcoin Cash?

It uses the same checksum algorithm with its own prefix and version bytes. A bitcoincash: address is not a Kaspa address.
