This EIP extends EIP-55 to protect users from losing funds by sending them to addresses that are valid but that where obtained from a client of another network.For example, if this EIP is implemented, a wallet can alert the user that is trying to send funds to an Ethereum Testnet address from an Ethereum Mainnet wallet. 19 20 ## Motivation 21 The motivation of this proposal is to provide a mechanism to allow software to distinguish addresses from different Ethereum based networks. This proposal is necessary because Ethereum addresses are hashes of public keys and do not include any metadata. By extending the EIP-55 checksum algorithm it is possible to achieve this objective. 22 23 ## Specification 24 Convert the address using the same algorithm defined by EIP-55 but if a registered chain id is provided, add it to the input of the hash function. If the chain id passed to the function belongs to a network that opted for using this checksum variant, prefix the address with the chain id and the `0x` separator before calculating the hash. Then convert the address to hexadecimal, but if the ith digit is a letter (ie. it's one of `abcdef`) print it in uppercase if the 4*ith bit of the calculated hash is 1 otherwise print it in lowercase. 25 26 ## Rationale 27 Benefits: 28 - By means of a minimal code change on existing libraries, users are protected from losing funds by mixing addresses of different Ethereum based networks. 29 30 ## Backwards Compatibility 31 This proposal is fully backward compatible. The checksum calculation is changed only for new networks that choose to adopt this EIP and add their chain numbers to the Adoption Table included in this document. 32 33 ## Implementation 34 ```python 35 #!/usr/bin/python3 36 from sha3 import keccak_256 37 import random 38 """ 39 addr (str): Hexadecimal address, 40 characters long with 2 characters prefix 40 chainid (int): chain id from EIP-155 """ 41 def eth_checksum_encode(addr, chainid=1): 42 adopted_eip1191 = [30, 31] 43 hash_input = str(chainid) + addr.lower() if chainid in adopted_eip1191 else addr[2:].lower() 44 hash_output = keccak_256(hash_input.encode('utf8')).hexdigest() 45 aggregate = zip(addr[2:].lower(),hash_output) 46 out = addr[:2] + ''.join([c.upper() if int(a,16) >= 8 else c for c,a in aggregate]) 47 return out 48 ``` 49 50 ## Test Cases 51 ```python 52 eth_mainnet = [ 53 "0x27b1fdb04752bbc536007a920d24acb045561c26", 54 "0x3599689E6292b81B2d85451025146515070129Bb", 55 "0x42712D45473476b98452f434e72461577D686318", 56 "0x52908400098527886E0F7030069857D2E4169EE7", 57 "0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed", 58 "0x6549f4939460DE12611948b3f82b88C3C8975323", 59 "0x66f9664f97F2b50F62D13eA064982f936dE76657", 60 "0x8617E340B3D01FA5F11F306F4090FD50E238070D", 61 "0x88021160C5C792225E4E5452585947470010289D", 62 "0xD1220A0cf47c7B9Be7A2E6BA89F429762e7b9aDb", 63 "0xdbF03B407c01E7cD3CBea99509d93f8DDDC8C6FB", 64 "0xde709f2102306220921060314715629080e2fb77", 65 "0xfB6916095ca1df60bB79Ce92cE3Ea74c37c5d359", 66 ] 67 rsk_mainnet = [ 68 "0x27b1FdB04752BBc536007A920D24ACB045561c26", 69 "0x3599689E6292B81B2D85451025146515070129Bb", 70 "0x42712D45473476B98452f434E72461577d686318", 71 "0x52908400098527886E0F7030069857D2E4169ee7", 72 "0x5aaEB6053f3e94c9b9a09f33669435E7ef1bEAeD", 73 "0x6549F4939460DE12611948B3F82B88C3C8975323", 74 "0x66F9664f97f2B50F62d13EA064982F936de76657", 75 "0x8617E340b3D01Fa5f11f306f4090fd50E238070D", 76 "0x88021160c5C792225E4E5452585947470010289d", 77 "0xD1220A0Cf47c7B9BE7a2e6ba89F429762E7B9adB", 78 "0xDBF03B407c01E7CD3cBea99509D93F8Dddc8C6FB", 79 "0xDe709F2102306220921060314715629080e2FB77", 80 "0xFb6916095cA1Df60bb79ce92cE3EA74c37c5d359", 81 ] 82 rsk_testnet = [ 83 "0x27B1FdB04752BbC536007a920D24acB045561C26", 84 "0x3599689e6292b81b2D85451025146515070129Bb", 85 "0x42712D45473476B98452F434E72461577D686318", 86 "0x52908400098527886E0F7030069857D2e4169EE7", 87 "0x5aAeb6053F3e94c9b9A09F33669435E7EF1BEaEd", 88 "0x6549f4939460dE12611948b3f82b88C3c8975323", 89 "0x66f9664F97F2b50f62d13eA064982F936DE76657", 90 "0x8617e340b3D01fa5F11f306F4090Fd50e238070d", 91 "0x88021160c5C792225E4E5452585947470010289d", 92 "0xd1220a0CF47c7B9Be7A2E6Ba89f429762E7b9adB", 93 "0xdbF03B407C01E7cd3cbEa99509D93f8dDDc8C6fB", 94 "0xDE709F2102306220921060314715629080e2Fb77", 95 "0xFb6916095CA1dF60bb79CE92ce3Ea74C37c5D359", 96 ] 97 test_cases = {30 : rsk_mainnet, 31 : rsk_testnet, 1 : eth_mainnet} 98 99 for chainid, cases in test_cases.items(): 100 for addr in cases: 101 assert ( addr == eth_checksum_encode(addr,chainid) ) 102 ``` 103 ## Adoption 104 105 ### Adoption Table 106 107 | Network | Chain id | Supports this EIP | 108 |-|-|-| 109 | RSK Mainnet | 30 | Yes | 110 | RSK Testnet | 31 | Yes | 111 112 ### Implementation Table 113 114 | Project | Adopted this EIP | Implementation | 115 |-|-|-| 116 | MyCrypto | Yes | [JavaScript](https://github.com/MyCryptoHQ/MyCrypto/blob/develop/common/utils/formatters.ts#L126) | 117 | MyEtherWallet | Yes | [JavaScript](https://github.com/MyEtherWallet/MyEtherWallet/blob/73c4a24f8f67c655749ac990c5b62efd92a2b11a/src/helpers/addressUtils.js#L22) | 118 | Ledger | Yes | [C](https://github.com/LedgerHQ/ledger-app-eth/blob/master/src_common/ethUtils.c#L203) | 119 | Trezor | Yes | [Python](https://github.com/trezor/trezor-core/blob/270bf732121d004a4cd1ab129adaccf7346ff1db/src/apps/ethereum/get_address.py#L32) and [C](https://github.com/trezor/trezor-crypto/blob/4153e662b60a0d83c1be15150f18483a37e9092c/address.c#L62) | 120 | Web3.js | Yes | [JavaScript](https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/blob/aaf26c8806bc9fb60cf6dcb6658104963c6c7fc7/packages/web3-utils/src/Utils.js#L140) | 121 | EthereumJS-util | Yes | [JavaScript](https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-util/pull/204/commits/cdf0b3c996b05ac5b1f758f17ea9f9ed1847c1eb) | 122 | ENS address-encoder | Yes | [TypeScript](https://github.com/ensdomains/address-encoder/commit/5bf53b13fa014646ea28c9e5f937361dc9b40590) | 123 124 ## Copyright 125 126 Copyright and related rights waived via [CC0](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). 127
