Your Bitcoin address is a Taproot address because it starts with the string **bc1p**. Here is how you can identify the type of your Bitcoin address whenever you are unsure:

| Wallet Types  | Address starts with |
| ------------- | ------------------- |
| Native Segwit | bc1q                |
| Nested Segwit | 3                   |
| Taproot       | bc1p                |
| Legacy        | 1                   |
