Context: The default address is generated automatically by the wallet software, while the official address is typically selected and shared for public use.
Portability: A wallet can have multiple addresses, but users might choose one as their official address. The official address is not necessarily portable, whereas the default address is portable across all platforms.
Purpose: The default address is for personal use within the wallet, while the official address is typically public-facing for specific purposes, like receiving payments or donations.
In essence, The default address is the primary address automatically generated by your wallet, while an official address is the first funded address generated from which you choose for public or specific use.
