I'm trying to understand what an Ethereum wallet address looks like. I've heard they are long and complicated, but I want to know the specific format or structure of these addresses.
On Ethereum and other networks that are compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), there is a specific format for public addresses.

These addresses start with the prefix '0x'. This prefix is essential for identifying addresses on the Ethereum network and other EVM-compatible blockchains.

Following the '0x' prefix, there are 40 alphanumeric characters. These characters include numerals (0-9) and letters (a-f), both in lowercase.

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

It's important to note that these addresses are not case sensitive. This means that whether the letters are in uppercase or lowercase, the address remains the same.
