Ethereum Address Checksum

Enter an Ethereum address (starting with 0x)

EIP-55: Ethereum Address Checksum

Ethereum addresses are 42 characters long (0x + 40 hex digits). EIP-55 introduces a checksum by capitalizing certain letters based on the address's hash.

How It Works:

  1. Take the lowercase address (without 0x)
  2. Hash it using Keccak-256
  3. For each character in the address:
    • If it's a letter and hash digit ≥ 8: uppercase
    • Otherwise: lowercase

Examples:

With checksum: 0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed

Without: 0x5aaeb6053f3e94c9b9a09f33669435e7ef1beaed

Why It Matters:

  • Detects typos in addresses
  • Reduces risk of sending funds to wrong address
  • Backward compatible (all-lowercase still works)
  • Supported by most modern Ethereum wallets

⚠️ Important:

Always double-check addresses before sending crypto. Even with checksums, verify the entire address. This tool validates format only, not ownership.
