toAddress()

function toAddress(s): `0x${string}`;

Normalizes an address-like string to viem’s EIP-55 checksummed form and casts it to Address. Throws InvalidArgumentError if s is not valid hex of the right length — this is not a user-input validation seam (see validateAddress for that, which returns structured issues instead of throwing); it is for normalizing addresses the caller already trusts came from the chain, a wallet, or protocol data, so that keys and equality checks compare consistently regardless of the casing the source used.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
s	string	The address-like string to normalize.

Returns

`0x${string}`

The EIP-55 checksummed string typed as Address.

Throws

InvalidArgumentError If s is not valid hex of address length.
