Syscoin (SYS) address validator
Paste a Syscoin address to check its checksum and format and see which address type it is. Below: how SYS addresses are built, an example, and the chains it can be confused with.
SYS address format
- Legacy (P2PKH)
- Base58Check with version byte 63 (0x3f); for example Sā¦.
- Script (P2SH)
- Base58Check with version byte 5 (0x05); for example 3ā¦.
- Native SegWit (bech32)
- Human-readable part sys, so SegWit addresses start with sys1.
- Checksum
- Double SHA-256, as in Bitcoin.

Good to know
SYS amounts use 8 decimal places: 1 SYS = 10^8 base units.
Its SLIP-44 coin type is 57, so BIP-44 style wallets derive it under m/44'/57'/ā¦.
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.
FAQ
- How do I check a Syscoin address is valid?
- Paste it into the checker on this page. It verifies the checksum and the version byte or bech32 prefix for Syscoin and says which address type it is, or why it fails.
- What does a Syscoin address look like?
- Base58Check (version byte 63 / 5) and bech32 (sys1ā¦). Try it with the public example SWJzQrRXomTrC1oftpSk1EDzzZ9Xz5mzbh.
- Is it safe to paste my Syscoin 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 SYS have?
- 8. The smallest unit is 1/10^8 SYS.
