Accounts and Addresses

Stacks uses the concept of an "account" to represent a user's identity on the blockchain. An account is identified by a unique address. The address is derived from the account's public key, which is derived from the account's private key.

A normal mainnet address starts with SP, and a testnet address starts with ST. e.g. SP3FGQ8Z7JY9BWYZ5WM53E0M9NK7WHJF0691NZ159, ST2F4BK4GZH6YFBNHYDDGN4T1RKBA7DA1BJZPJEJJ

import { showConnect } from '@stacks/connect';

showConnect({
  appDetails,
  userSession,
  onFinish: () => {
    console.log(userSession.loadUserData().profile.stxAddress.mainnet);  
  },
});
