A public address used for receiving and sending cryptocurrency payments. An address contains a mix of numbers and letters (such as bitcoincash:qzmm5ffsl4x29wg50sn7rushcz4gxqpcas5f24432c

etc.
Public keys can be shared without risking the funds and should be the only type of key you reveal or give to anyone.
Although there is no risk to losing funds, if a public key is re-used multiple times they can put the holders privacy at risk. As such, it's a good idea to use wallets which always use new keys.
