    To identify if your bitcoin addresses are still active, you can use a blockchain explorer like Blockchair or Blockchain.com. Simply enter your bitcoin address into the search bar, and it will show you the transaction history and current balance of that address. If there are recent transactions and a positive balance, it means the address is still active. To reactivate a dormant address, you can simply start using it again for sending or receiving bitcoin.

    If you suspect that your bitcoin addresses are dormant, you can also check the last transaction date of each address using a blockchain explorer. If the last transaction date is a long time ago, it indicates that the address has been inactive. To reactivate a dormant address, you can initiate a small transaction to it. This will update the last transaction date and make the address active again.
