The Beginning of the Address

Everything begins with 0x. The prefix of possibility, the on-chain fingerprint that precedes every wallet, contract, and token on Ethereum.

To outsiders, it may seem like nonsense. To insiders, it is sacred. It marks the dawn of identity, authorship, and control. Every Ethereum address, whether dormant or active, begins with 0x. It flattens hierarchies. It removes personal flair. It spreads presence across the network.

This work investigates that origin moment. Crisp, technical, pure. Yet within it lies endless horizon: markets, memes, frauds, treasuries, punk heirlooms, hidden wealth.

0x is both empty and organized. It is a blank starting point and a record that orders every address, token, and contract. Every signature brings it to life. Signing is action, creation, and ownership. We once signed names. Now we sign trades. Here, that act comes alive.
