Study Notes | Private Keys and Addresses
① EIP-55 adds a checksum to Ethereum addresses using a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters. If you mistype a character in an address, most wallets that support checksum validation can detect it.
② A digital signature shows that the person initiating a transaction has access to the private key; the signing process does not reveal the private key.
③ Avoid exporting your private key whenever possible. If you must export it, don’t copy it into a notes app that’s connected to the internet.
