What is an EVM address? How to find yours in Bitget Wallet

 

Key Takeaways

• An EVM wallet address is a public address, usually starting with 0x, used to receive assets on Ethereum-compatible networks. 
• The same wallet account may use the same address on supported EVM networks, but you must still select the correct token and network.
• In Bitget Wallet, you can find and copy your EVM address from the wallet home screen or a supported EVM network.

An EVM wallet address helps you receive and manage assets on Ethereum-compatible blockchains.

For example, you may see the same 0x address when using Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base or Arbitrum. However, the network still matters: USDC on Ethereum and USDC on Base are assets on different networks.

 

What Is an EVM Wallet Address?

An EVM wallet address is a public wallet address used on Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible blockchains.

It is usually a 42-character address beginning with 0x , followed by letters and numbers.

Example:

0x1a5FdBc891c5D4E6aD68064Ae45D43146D4F9f3a

You can share your EVM address with someone who wants to send you supported crypto assets. It is safe to share your public wallet address, but you should never share your private key, recovery phrase or other wallet recovery credentials.

How Does an EVM Wallet Address Work?

Your EVM address is linked to your wallet account on supported EVM-compatible networks.

When someone sends crypto to your address, the transaction is recorded on the selected blockchain. Your wallet then displays supported assets associated with that address.

When you send crypto, your wallet uses the credentials associated with your wallet to authorize the transaction. The transaction is then submitted to the selected blockchain network for confirmation.

The address may look the same across multiple EVM networks, but the selected network determines where the transaction is sent and where the asset is received.

For example:

• USDC on Ethereum is different from USDC on Base.
• ETH on Ethereum is different from ETH used on Base.
• Sending an asset through the wrong network can cause delays, loss of access or recovery issues.

Is an EVM Address the Same as an Ethereum Address?

An Ethereum address uses the standard EVM 0x address format.

In many wallets, the same wallet account can use the same address on supported EVM-compatible networks, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum and Optimism.

However, matching addresses do not mean networks are interchangeable.

Before receiving crypto, always check:

• The token being sent;
• The network selected by the sender;
• The network you expect to receive assets on;
• Whether the token is supported on that network.

Which Wallets Use EVM Addresses?

EVM-compatible wallets can manage addresses used on Ethereum-compatible networks.

A wallet may be considered EVM-compatible if it supports Ethereum or other EVM networks, such as BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon or Avalanche C-Chain.

In Bitget Wallet, you can view your EVM address when All Networks or a supported EVM-compatible network is selected.

Different wallets may use different interfaces, but EVM wallet addresses generally follow the same 0x address format.

Do EVM Wallets Have Different Addresses on Each Chain?

A single wallet account may use the same EVM address across supported EVM networks.

For example, your address may look the same when you select:

• Ethereum;
• BNB Chain;
• Base;
• Arbitrum;
• Optimism;
• Polygon.

However, you still need to select the correct network for every transaction.

An EVM address alone does not tell you:

• Which blockchain the sender selected;
• Which version of a token is being sent;
• Whether the token is supported on the destination network.

Always confirm the token and network before sending or receiving crypto.

How Do You Find Your EVM Address in Bitget Wallet?

You can find your EVM wallet address from the Bitget Wallet home screen.

1. Open Bitget Wallet. Go to Wallet. 
2. Select your preferred network from the top-right corner. Choose a supported EVM-compatible network, such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, or Base. 
   
3. Tap the copy icon next to your wallet address.
   
4. Paste the address where needed, such as an exchange withdrawal page or another wallet’s send page.
5. Before confirming a transfer, make sure the sender selects the token and network you expect to receive.

If a non-EVM network, such as Bitcoin or Solana, is selected, the displayed address may use a different format. Switch to an EVM-compatible network to view your  0x EVM address.  

What Should You Check Before Receiving Crypto to an EVM Address?

Before receiving crypto, review the following:

• Wallet address: Confirm that you copied the correct address from your wallet.
• Network: Confirm that the sender is using the intended network.
• Token: Check that the token is supported on the selected network.
• Address format: An EVM address usually starts with 0x , but this does not confirm the correct token or network.
• Test transfer: For a new token, network or large transfer, consider sending a small test amount first.

Never assume that assets can be sent across any EVM network simply because the wallet address looks the same.

What Is an EVM Wallet?

An EVM wallet is a wallet that can manage assets and interact with supported EVM-compatible networks.

An EVM wallet can help users:

• Receive and send supported EVM tokens;
• View assets across supported EVM networks;
• Trade supported crypto and RWA tokens;
• Connect to supported DApps;
• Sign transactions on supported EVM networks.

Bitget Wallet supports different wallet setup options.

Traditional self-custodial wallets may use a recovery phrase or private key for access and recovery. Bitget Wallet also offers a Social Login Wallet  , which lets users create and access a self-custodial wallet using a Google account, Apple ID or email address.

Social Login Wallets use Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technology to protect private keys and signing operations in a hardware-isolated environment. The wallet type you use determines how access, recovery and security are set up.

Always follow the security guidance shown during wallet creation and never share sensitive wallet credentials.
