I'm trying to understand what an Ethereum wallet address looks like. I've heard they are long and complex, but I'm not sure of the specific format or structure. Can someone describe or provide an example?
On Ethereum and other networks that are compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), there is a uniform format for public addresses.

These addresses commence with the prefix '0x'. This serves as a distinct identifier for addresses on these networks.

Following the '0x' prefix, there are 40 alphanumeric characters. These characters include both numerals and letters.

The combination of the '0x' prefix and the 40 alphanumeric characters results in a total of 42 characters for each address.

It is important to note that these addresses are not case sensitive. This means that the uppercase and lowercase letters do not affect the validity of the address.
