Paste a Auroracoin address to check its checksum and format and see which address type it is. Below: how AUR addresses are built, an example, and the chains it can be confused with.
AUR address format
- Legacy (P2PKH)
- Base58Check with version byte 23 (0x17); for example A….
- Script (P2SH)
- Base58Check with version byte 5 (0x05); for example 3….
- Checksum
- Double SHA-256, as in Bitcoin.

Good to know
AUR amounts use 8 decimal places: 1 AUR = 10^8 base units.
Its SLIP-44 coin type is 85, so BIP-44 style wallets derive it under m/44'/85'/….
Its legacy addresses share version byte 23 with Primecoin, so the same string can be valid on both chains. The detector lists every match; the right chain is the one your wallet uses.
Look-alike chains: Primecoin.
Public explorers: chainz.cryptoid.info.

FAQ
- How do I check a Auroracoin address is valid?
- Paste it into the checker on this page. It verifies the checksum and the version byte or bech32 prefix for Auroracoin and says which address type it is, or why it fails.
- What does a Auroracoin address look like?
- Base58Check (version byte 23 / 5). Try it with the public example AQns2WW1QYvoUgECv37zcDLXpNqoYvfGUc.
- Is it safe to paste my Auroracoin address?
- Yes. An address is public. The checker only reads the string you paste; nothing is stored, and it never asks for a private key or seed phrase.
- How many decimals does AUR have?
- 8. The smallest unit is 1/10^8 AUR.
- Why does my Auroracoin address also show as Primecoin?
- Both chains use version byte 23 for legacy addresses, so the string is valid on each. The key behind it is the same; only the network differs.
