Get active address

ArConnect Injected API getActiveAddress() function

In order to identify the user's wallet, your application might need to obtain their crypto address. Arweave addresses are derived from the user's public key. The getActiveAddress() function returns the address that belongs to the wallet that is currently being used in ArConnect.

Note: This function requires the ACCESS_ADDRESS permission.

Example usage

// connect to the extension
await window.arweaveWallet.connect(["ACCESS_ADDRESS"]);

// obtain the user's wallet address
const userAddress = await window.arweaveWallet.getActiveAddress();

console.log("Your wallet address is", userAddress);
