Public Key
A cryptographic code used to verify transactions and generate your public address.
A Public Key is a cryptographic code linked to your Private Key.
It’s what lets others verify that transactions come from you —
without ever revealing your private key itself.
From the public key, your wallet generates your public address,
which people can use to send you crypto.
But the reverse isn’t possible — nobody can find your private key
just by seeing your public one.
Why it matters
- It’s essential for verifying digital signatures
- Helps ensure authentic, tamper-proof transactions
- Keeps your private key hidden and secure
Blockchains use public–private key pairs to maintain trust
without any central authority.
💡 Lanzo Tip
You can share your public key or address,
but never your private key — that’s like handing over your entire wallet 🔐
