# Address Conversion

As explained in [Chain ID and Address Format](/cronos-chain-protocol/chain-id.md), Cronos uses the Bech32 address format.\
In order to convert between a Bech32 format address and an Ethereum format address, we provide the following sample code below:

### Python implementation

In order to convert from Bech32 `crc...` address to a Ethereum `0x...` address:

````python
```python
import bech32

bech32_address = input("Please enter a crc address: ")
#bech32_address = "crc1gwqac243g2z3vryqsev6acq965f9ttwhw9r7vk"

_, bz = bech32.bech32_decode(bech32_address)
hexbytes=bytes(bech32.convertbits(bz, 5, 8))
eth_address = '0x' + hexbytes.hex()
print(eth_address)
#0x4381dc2ab14285160c808659aee005d51255add7
```
````

Vice versa, in order to convert from an Ethereum `0x...` to a Bech32 `crc...` address:

````python
```python
import bech32

eth_address = input("Please enter a ETH address (0x...): ")
#eth_address = "0x4381dc2ab14285160c808659aee005d51255add7"
eth_address_bytes = bytes.fromhex(eth_address[2:])

bz = bech32.convertbits(eth_address_bytes, 8, 5)
bech32_address = bech32.bech32_encode("crc",bz)
print(bech32_address)
#crc1gwqac243g2z3vryqsev6acq965f9ttwhw9r7vk
```
````

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cronos.org/for-dapp-developers/chain-integration/adress-conversion.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
