DigiByte (DGB) address validator
Paste a DigiByte address to check its checksum and format and see which address type it is. Below: how DGB addresses are built, an example, and the chains it can be confused with.
DGB address format
- Legacy (P2PKH)
- Base58Check with version byte 30 (0x1e); for example Dā¦.
- Script (P2SH)
- Base58Check with version byte 63 (0x3f); for example Sā¦.
- Native SegWit (bech32)
- Human-readable part dgb, so SegWit addresses start with dgb1.
- Checksum
- Double SHA-256, as in Bitcoin.

Good to know
DGB amounts use 8 decimal places: 1 DGB = 10^8 base units.
Its SLIP-44 coin type is 20, so BIP-44 style wallets derive it under m/44'/20'/ā¦.
Its legacy addresses share version byte 30 with Dogecoin, PIVX, so the same string can be valid on all of them. The detector lists every match; the right chain is the one your wallet uses.
Look-alike chains: Dogecoin, PIVX.

FAQ
- How do I check a DigiByte address is valid?
- Paste it into the checker on this page. It verifies the checksum and the version byte or bech32 prefix for DigiByte and says which address type it is, or why it fails.
- What does a DigiByte address look like?
- Base58Check (version byte 30 / 63) and bech32 (dgb1ā¦). Try it with the public example DEA5vGb2NpAwCiCp5yTE16F3DueQUVivQp.
- Is it safe to paste my DigiByte 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 DGB have?
- 8. The smallest unit is 1/10^8 DGB.
- Why does my DigiByte address also show as Dogecoin?
- Both chains use version byte 30 for legacy addresses, so the string is valid on each. The key behind it is the same; only the network differs.
