Paste a Firo address to check its checksum and format and see which address type it is. Below: how FIRO addresses are built, an example, and the chains it can be confused with.

FIRO address format

Legacy (P2PKH)

Public examples

  • a9jT7v61JCGVjFTKMnmoDcPwx93TUqE2LA (P2PKH)
  • 46pLrE7Pev2nqF3ayZKFq3XHmsJityedfw (P2SH)

Good to know

FIRO amounts use 8 decimal places: 1 FIRO = 10^8 base units.

Its SLIP-44 coin type is 136, so BIP-44 style wallets derive it under m/44'/136'/โ€ฆ.

This page checks address formats only. It never asks for a private key or seed phrase. Want to know if an address still holds funds? Try find money (coverage is listed there). Lost the wallet app? See the recovery guides.
