Your input differs from the canonical checksum — if you got this from another tool, the typo guard would have flagged it.

How to use

  1. 1 Paste any Ethereum address — lower, upper, or mixed case.
  2. 2 Output is the canonical EIP-55 checksummed form.
  3. 3 Mixed-case letters encode a keccak-256 hash of the lowercase address — letters with hash nibble ≥ 8 are uppercased.

Why use this tool

  • EIP-55 turns a case-insensitive 40-char hex address into a typo-catching checksum.
  • Most wallets (MetaMask, Ledger Live, etc.) emit checksummed addresses — pasting one back will be flagged if a character is wrong.
  • Useful for safely converting addresses scraped from logs or older systems that emit lowercase only.
  • Runs entirely in your browser — keccak-256 computed locally.

Frequently asked questions

Is the checksummed address a different address?

No — it points to the exact same account on-chain. Ethereum addresses are case-insensitive at the protocol level. The checksum is purely a client-side typo guard.

What if my input is wrong?

If the input has 40 valid hex chars in any case, this tool will produce the canonical checksum. To check if a mixed-case address is itself valid EIP-55, use the Wallet Address Validator.

Why was EIP-55 introduced?

Without checksums, a single typo in a 40-char hex address would result in sending funds to a different (likely dead) account. EIP-55 (Vitalik Buterin & Alex Van de Sande, 2016) added detection without changing the address format.
