SegWit addresses in the Bitcoin network can be easily identified by their prefixes. Typically, they start with either a “3” or a “bc1”.

Addresses that begin with the number “3” are specifically known as Pay to Script Hash (P2SH). This type of address is compatible with SegWit transactions.

P2SH addresses were initially designed to improve the privacy and security of Bitcoin transactions. With SegWit, they have also gained the ability to process transactions more efficiently.
