Address() returns the short version of the public key Address format varies between chains: - Cosmos, Harmony, Binance, Avalanche RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(pubkey)) - BTC, BCH, BSV, (and other forks) <1 byte version> + RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(pubkey)) + <4 byte Checksum> `RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(pubkey)

// `RIPEMD-160(SHA-256(pubkey))` seems to be the most common theme in addressing for SECP256K1 public keys
