In the blockchain sphere, some foundations choose to represent accounts with their own styled addresses for marketing or usability purposes. For example, on Zilliqa, an address will have a ‘zill’ prefix followed by a hexadecimal string, such as  zil1fvq4zxnx4dg2h6xts5fd0d2um8phlv50tzwp9z. However, in order to maintain compatibility with the EVM ecosystem, these blockchains also have an EVM address format representation (0x). There are official converters used to convert from 0x-prefix addresses to the original Zilliqa address and vice versa, such as this official Zilliqa converter.

Such blockchains are called hybrid address blockchains. In fireblocks, we currently support only a single address format per blockchain: either the blockchain’s dedicated address or the EVM formatted address, depending on the blockchain. In hybrid address blockchains where we support only the EVM address, you must be aware that transactions to a non-EVM address, either directly or via an exchange, may require additional steps on your side. You can use the Foundation’s official documentation to find out more on these steps.
