​
Prerequisites

  • A Spark wallet created following the Create First Wallet guide
  • Basic understanding of Spark network addressing

​
Understanding Spark Addresses

Spark Addresses are Bech32m-encoded wrappers that combine two elements: the network identifier and the wallet’s identity public key.

Address Example: sp1pgssyuuuhnrrdjswal5c3s3rafw9w3y5dd4cjy3duxlf7hjzkp0rqx6dj6mrhu

​
Networks and their prefixes

  • sp: Mainnet,
  • spt: Testnet,
  • sprt: Regtest,
  • sps: Signet,
  • spl: Local

​
Getting Your Spark Address

To get your Spark Address, use the getSparkAddress() method:

const sparkAddress = await wallet.getSparkAddress();
console.log("My Spark Address:", sparkAddress);

​
Important Notes

  • A Spark Address is derived from your wallet’s network and identity public key
  • The same wallet will always generate the same Spark Address
  • Spark Addresses are network-specific (mainnet/testnet/regtest)

​
Best Practices

  • Always verify the address before sharing
  • Double-check network compatibility
  • Keep track of your addresses for different networks
  • Use appropriate address format for the network

​
Next Steps

Now that you have your Spark Address, you can:
