While EVM addresses are the same on every chain, Substrate addresses vary depending on the parachain.

EVM (Ethereum)

Ethereum-based addresses are interoperable across different Ethereum-compatible chains. If a blockchain uses the EVM, it can reuse the same Ethereum addresses.

This is a very interesting point, because if we know a user's EVM address, we can use it via different providers on any string. A single implementation will enable us to write code that can be used on multiple chains.

Substrate (Polkadot/Parachains)

Substrate-based chains have their own address formats, and there isn't a universal Substrate address that works across all Substrate-based chains. Each Substrate chain has its own address space.

To obtain precise information about the addressing standards for specific parachains, it is recommended to refer to the documentation of the individual parachain
