Definition: user-friendly crypto address


Instead of the long alphanumeric public addresses that identify parties in a crypto transaction, there are several approaches to using names that are easy to remember. For example, the Foundation for Interwallet Operability (FIO) uses an address similar to email, while the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and Unstoppable Domains use addresses like website URLs (see ENS, FIO and Unstoppable Domains). User-friendly crypto addresses are also called "Web3 addresses" (see Web3).
