Harmony Network Address Format Conversion

U
Written by UKey Wallet

1. Address Format Overview

Within the Harmony network, a single account can be represented in two distinct formats:

  • Ethereum-Style Address: Starts with 0x. This is the default format used by UKey.

  • Harmony Native Format (Bech32): Starts with one1. Certain platforms, legacy DApps, or exchanges (such as older versions of Binance) may require this format.

2. Step-by-Step Conversion Process

To convert your UKey Ethereum-style address to a Harmony one1 address, please follow these steps:

  1. Access the Explorer: Go to the Harmony Block Explorer.

  2. Search Your Address: Paste your 0x address from the UKey wallet into the search bar and hit enter.

  3. Toggle Format: On the address details page, locate and click the "ONE / ETH" toggle button (usually found in the top right or navigation menu).

  4. Copy the Address: The explorer will display the equivalent one1 address. You can now copy this for use on platforms that exclusively support the Bech32 format.

3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Q: Can I use my 0x address to receive Harmony assets directly? A: In most cases, yes—especially on Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) and cross-chain bridges. However, some centralized exchanges or legacy systems only recognize one1 addresses. Always verify the specific requirements of the receiving platform before initiating a transfer.

  • Q: Does converting the address format affect my assets? A: No. Both address formats point to the same underlying account. The conversion is purely a change in visual representation and does not alter your balance or compromise security.
