address to string function not work same, take a look to 'f' and 'F'

or to 'b' and 'B'

The addresses are the same. One is checksummed, and the other is not.

@jxom

why Address in account is checksummed and address that i recive is not checksummed?

how i can checksum this address in viem?

[sstepanchuk]

in two cases we have the same type of object (address) and it is logical that the information in them should be the same (in same format)

the question is, why are they different (in diffrent format)?

The Account address is often used for display purposes, so it’s default to the checksummed version for safety. If you want alternative behavior, feel free to checksum it yourself or de-checksum.
