What is the purpose of this tool?

Having ETH address, with few letters which are defined by us, makes it easier to visually identify this account among others. In opposite to Ethereum Name Service, it doesn't require special support by wallet implementation and it's for free.

If you have some spare Ethereum, you can send it to 0xDEad5CE2A46BadBD39638C8164727e8BD09ABEef 🤑
