How to verify the checksum of an account address?

  • After hex decoding, the first 4 bytes is the big-endian CRC32 checksum of the rest of the address.
  • Call address_from_hex in the JavaScript SDK. It returns and error if checksum doesn’t match.
  • Here is a Java implementation of address validation logic.
