An Ethereum address is a 20-byte account identifier commonly written as a hexadecimal string beginning with 0x and used for externally owned accounts and contracts.

Published and reviewed: 2 October 2026.

Definition: An Ethereum address is a 20-byte account identifier commonly written as a hexadecimal string beginning with 0x and used for externally owned accounts and contracts.

The same-looking EVM address may be valid on multiple EVM networks, but assets and transaction state are separate on each chain.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval Wallet supports Ethereum and multiple EVM/L2 networks, so the interface keeps the selected network context separate even when account addresses look the same.

Important: Do not rely on the 0x format alone to determine the correct network for a transfer.
