Ethereum and Hedera both utilize the exact same ECDSA secp256k1 curve. When you are setting up a new account, the most highly advised approach is to use an ECDSA key that has an EVM address generated directly from the public key during the initial creation process. By taking this step, you ensure your account is fully compatible with EVM tooling right from the very beginning.
