A Polygon address is a 42-character hexadecimal string starting with "0x" (e.g., 0x71C7656EC7ab88b098defB751B7401B5f6d8976F). It is used to send, receive, and store POL and other tokens on the Polygon PoS network. Every Polygon address is derived from the last 20 bytes of the public key with "0x" prepended, making it fully compatible with Ethereum-based applications.
Understanding the structure and usage of a Polygon address is essential for anyone interacting with the Polygon blockchain.
