Use case
A possible use case for the detectAddress
method in TON is for applications that need to handle various types of TON addresses. This method can be used to:
- Validate and normalize user-input addresses.
- Determine the appropriate format to use when interacting with smart contracts.
- Display different address representations to users based on context.
- Detect if an address is meant for testnet, preventing accidental use on mainnet.
