Legacy Address convention

Legacy Address convention

In EtherealNetwork chain 2.0 generation, we used to have Legacy Addresses (that always start with V). Those addresses essentially are 20 bytes Ethereum-like addresses but encoded differently on UI. The difference is that instead of a hex string prefixed with 0x, the Legacy address is extended with checksum (4 extra bytes), encoded with Base58, and prefixed with 'V'.

'V' + base58(20-bytes-address + 4-bytes-checksum)

Examples:
