Editing Ethereum address

[[wikipedia:Ethereum address]]

* [[Ethereum Node Records (ENR)]]

Ethereum addresses are composed of the prefix "0x" (a common identifier for hexadecimal) concatenated with the rightmost 20 bytes of the [[Keccak-256]] hash of the [[ECDSA]] public key (the curve used is the so-called secp256k1). In hexadecimal, two digits represent a byte, and so addresses contain 40 hexadecimal digits, e.g. 0xb794f5ea0ba39494ce839613fffba74279579268. Contract addresses are in the same format, however, they are determined by sender and creation transaction [[nonce]].
