On the Cardano (ADA) network, two address formats are normal, and both belong to your wallet:
- Byron Address — Starts with "Ddz…", older format, no staking support.
- Shelley Address — Starts with "addr1…", current standard, supports staking and rewards.
Funds are safe on both. Use Shelley for staking.
