BTC wallet and xpub

What is an xpub?

An xpub is the extended public key of your wallet. At Bcon Global, it is represented with the prefix xpub/ypub/zpub. We utilize the xpub to generate unique addresses for each order. These addresses belong to your own wallet, ensuring that received payments are immediately credited to your wallet balance.

I am getting an invalid xpub error, what to do?

If you encounter an invalid xpub error, it might be due to mistakenly entering a bitcoin address like 1JCe8z4jJVNXSjohjM4i9Hh813dLCNx2Sy. Remember that the xpub key follows a different format, for instance: xpub2309Rfjenjkf3U89DCfnSAFsjdw83r49dkffg4e68EFH3EG5T4REF934834jfe8oj340fjj98hf3F48FJ9j3sld3fg95njgf3j2e0k3j49g. Please refer to the above instructions to correctly find your wallet’s xpub.

What are the risks of revealing my xpub?

Disclosing your xpub carries no significant risks, as it is a public key. Neither Bcon Global nor any third party can gain access to your wallet using the xpub. Your bitcoin funds and private keys always remain under your full control.
