Where Is My Ethereum Public Key?

Ethereum public keys are stored in a variety of places, depending on how you’re using Ethereum. If you’re using a software wallet, your public key will be stored on your computer.

If you’re using a web wallet, your public key will be stored on the website. If you’re using a hardware wallet, your public key will be stored on the device.

Your public key is what allows people to send Ethereum to you. It’s like your bank account number – anyone who has it can send money to your account.

That’s why it’s important to keep your public key safe and secret.

If you’re not sure where your public key is, or if you’ve lost it, there are a few things you can do.

NOTE: Warning: It is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with Ethereum public keys. When entering your public key, it is important to ensure that you are entering it in the correct format and that it is safe from potential attackers. Be sure to keep your public key secure and never share it with anyone or post it publicly. Additionally, be sure to make backups of your private key so that if anything happens to your original, you have a backup available.

If you’re using a software wallet, look for a file called ‘wallet.dat’ on your computer.

This file contains your private keys, which are used to access your Ether balance. You can find instructions on how to open this file here: https://www.myetherwallet.com/helpers/open-wallet-dat-file.html.

If you’re using a web wallet, try logging into the website and looking for a ‘view my address’ or ‘deposit’ page. Your public key should be listed on this page.

If you’re using a hardware wallet, connect the device to your computer and follow the instructions for accessing your Ether balance.

If you still can’t find your public key, don’t worry! You can generate a new one using https://www.myetherwallet.com/#generate-wallet or https://www.metamask.io/. Just make sure to keep it safe and secret!.
