Certified Blockchain Solutions Architect (CBSA) — Question 38

Addresses on a blockchain are derived by a process of hashing _________.

Answer options

• A. Wallet Addresses
• B. Private Keys
• C. IP Addresses
• D. Mac addresses
• E. Public Keys

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E, as blockchain addresses are generated from public keys through hashing. The other options do not serve as the basis for address creation on a blockchain; for instance, private keys are used to sign transactions, while IP and Mac addresses are related to networking, not blockchain addressing.
