In the **Blockchain Analytics** module, an **address** represents a unique identifier on a blockchain network, used to send and receive cryptocurrency. Each address is associated with a specific wallet and serves as the destination or source of transactions on the blockchain.

## What is an Address in Ospree Blockchain Analytics?

In Ospree’s **Blockchain Analytics** module, an **address** represents a unique identifier on a blockchain network, used to send and receive cryptocurrency. Each address is associated with a specific wallet and serves as the destination or source of transactions on the blockchain.

### How it works

* **Identification**: Every blockchain address is unique and is typically a long string of alphanumeric characters, as shown in the example above.
* **Network-specific**: Addresses are network-specific, meaning a Bitcoin address cannot be used on the Ethereum network, and vice versa. Ospree automatically detects the cryptocurrency type associated with each address.
* **Transaction tracking**: Ospree uses addresses to track transactions and analyze patterns for compliance and risk management.
* **Risk analysis**: By analyzing an address's transaction history and counterparties, Ospree assigns a [**risk score**](/dashboard/blockchain-analytics/addresses/risk-scores.md) to help identify potentially suspicious or high-risk activity.

### Address details displayed in Ospree

In the Blockchain Analytics module, each address is displayed with:

* **Address string**: The full blockchain address, which can be copied for further investigation or reporting.
* **Cryptocurrency type**: Displayed next to the address icon, indicating the specific blockchain network (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
* **Balance**: The total amount of cryptocurrency held at that address.
* **Risk score**: A color-coded bar that visually represents the risk level associated with the address.
