Tavchain uses Ethereum-style accounts with public 0x addresses. The browser tutorials use an externally owned account (EOA), controlled by a private signing key that your wallet manages. A contract account is controlled by its deployed code rather than a private key. It executes when called by a transaction or another contract. Both account types can hold TAV; their permissions and behavior differ.

Keep custody of your keys

Use a dedicated test account. Never paste a seed phrase, private key or wallet password into the faucet, explorer or support messages. Public services need your address or transaction hash, not your signing key.

Select the correct network

The same address format can appear on several EVM networks. Balances, nonces and deployed contracts are specific to each chain. Select Tavchain Testnet, chain ID 771002, before reviewing a transaction.

Native and EVM addresses

Native node tooling can show the corresponding account in tav1… form. Use the EVM 0x address for wallet, faucet and Ethereum JSON-RPC workflows. Do not convert between representations by truncating or editing address text. Connect a wallet · TAV and token balances · Transaction lifecycle
