# useAddress

## Overview

* Returns the connected wallet address, adapting to the default chain's format
  (hex for `minievm`, bech32 for others).
* Use when you need a single address that matches the default chain's format.

## Prerequisites

* Must be rendered within `InterwovenKitProvider`.
* Must be used within a React Query `QueryClientProvider`.
* Must be used within a wagmi `WagmiProvider`.
* Client-only (no SSR): Put this in a `use client` provider tree, or use a
  dynamic import in Next.js.

## Quickstart

```tsx theme={null}
'use client'

import { useAddress } from '@initia/interwovenkit-react'

function Address() {
  const address = useAddress()
  return <span>{address || 'Not connected'}</span>
}
```

<Note>
  This example assumes providers are already set up. For complete setup
  configurations, see [Provider Setup](../setup/providers).
</Note>

## Return Value

```ts theme={null}
function useAddress(): string
```

Returns a hex address when the default chain is `minievm`, or an Initia bech32
address for other chain types. Returns an empty string when there is no
connected address.

## Notes

* Prefer this hook over chain-specific address hooks (`useHexAddress`,
  `useInitiaAddress`) when you need a single address that automatically adapts
  to the default chain's format.
* Returns hex format for `minievm` chains, bech32 format for other chain types.
