I doubt what Op is saying is true.

All the time I have spent in crypto space I haven't heard or seen any Ethereum address starts with "1" it's not possible, I know that some Bitcoin address do start with "1", "3" or "bc1" but for altcoin like bep20 and Erc20 they do always start with 0x while for Trons it begins with "T" etcetera.

As others have stated Op, it won't do you any harm to copy the address and post it here so that everyone can see for themselves.

Show the full address, so we can check it. Otherwise, you might wrongly take it as an Ethereum address or it is just without the 0x prefix or maybe just another coin address.

That's not possible either because Ethereum addresses can't have the characters N, X, etc. as is the case with the address he's showing.

@OP If you can copy the address in Etherscan without getting any errors, then it's a valid address otherwise it's not.

But I found ethereum wallet address that starts with 1
and this wallet address is on the blockchain.
How it is possible?

Why don't you show us?

You already got the answer that all Ethereum addresses begin with the prefix "0x." If you came across something on a blockchain explorer that you're unsure about, feel free to share the link with us so that we can take a look and provide further assistance.

Bitcoin addresses can also start with 3 or bc1.

But to answer your question, no. Ethereum addresses always start with (0x). The same applies to the other EVM compatible chains.

But I found ethereum wallet address that starts with 1
and this wallet address is on the blockchain.
How it is possible?

I found at least 3 addresses and I know there are many of such addresses that starts with 1
Something like this.

0x is hexadecimal prefix. Some Ethereum apps/platforms might accept ETH addresses with or without the 0x prefix.[1] For example, Etherscan is able to search addresses or transactions hash with or without the prefix.

1nBrsnx2F*********** is only 20 characters long. On the other hand, an Ethereum address usually has 42 characters long, either for user accounts or contract accounts.[2][3]

All ethereum addresses start with 0x. And by the way, this belongs to altcoins discussion.

As far as we know Bitcoin address starts with 1
Eg
17g24tOg1URxOylEyt9v3Nps5T8CKe2Gyd

We know ethereum address starts with 0x
 0x7f533b5fbf6ef86c3b7df76cc27fc67744a9a760

My question is -
is there any Ethereum address that starts with 1 ?
