  A public key in the realm of cryptocurrencies is a long string of alphanumeric characters. It is typically represented as a hexadecimal number and is derived from a private key using cryptographic algorithms. For example, a Bitcoin public key may look like this: 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa. This public key is used to receive funds and verify transactions on the Bitcoin network.

  When it comes to cryptocurrencies, a public key is like your bank account number. It is a unique identifier that allows others to send you funds. In the case of Bitcoin, a public key is a 34-character string that starts with a '1' and is derived from a private key. For instance, 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa is an example of a Bitcoin public key.
