An address is a way to uniquely and anonymously identify an account that exists on the Sui blockchain network. In other words, an address is a way for a user to store and use tokens on the Sui network, without providing any personally identifying information (such as email address, phone number, and so on). For example, if you want to purchase a number of SUI tokens to play a game, you must specify an address where these tokens are to be deposited.The Sui address is unique, similarly to the way a social security number or a personal identification number is unique to one person. However, in Sui you can create and own multiple addresses, all of which are unique.In Sui, an address is 32 bytes and is often encoded in hexadecimal with a 0x prefix. For example, this is a valid Sui address: 0x02a212de6a9dfa3a69e22387acfbafbb1a9e591bd9d636e7895dcfc8de05f331. You can use a Sui network explorer to find more information about this address and the objects it owns.If you'd like to understand how a Sui address is derived from private keys and other cryptography related topics, see the Keys and Addresses topic.How to obtain a Sui addressSui provides multiple ways to obtain a Sui address.
