Package ethaddr provides tools for working with eth-addresses, for the Go programming language.

The eth-address (also known as an ethereum-address or evm-address) is a 20-byte address — and is commonly used by EVM based networks, as well as other places

ethaddr.Address is meant to be a replacement for go-ethereum/common.Address from the official Ethereum golang package.

Here is an example of loading an ethaddr.Address from a hexadecimal-literal stored in a Go string:

address, err := ethaddr.ParseString("0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed")

Here is an example of loading an ethaddr.Address from a hexadecimal-literal stored in a Go []byte:

var bytes []byte = []byte("0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed")

address, err := ethaddr.Parse(bytes)

Here is an example of loading an ethaddr.Address from a Go [20]byte:

address := ethaddr.Something( [20]{0x5a,0xAe,0xb6,0x05,0x3F,0x3E,0x94,0xC9,0xb9,0xA0,0x9f,0x33,0x66,0x94,0x35,0xE7,0xEf,0x1B,0xeA,0xed} )

Here is an example of loading an ethaddr.Address from a Go *big.Int:

var bigint *big.Int = // ...

address := ethaddr.BigInt(bigint)
