Description
Hey team! 👋 I was digging into the account.rs file and noticed something off with the checksum validation logic for Ethereum addresses around line 45.
Looks like the current implementation doesn’t fully handle cases where checksums aren't matching correctly. To fix this, I’d suggest using a stricter validation method that re-checks the checksum based on a standard like EIP-55. This would ensure we're catching all invalid addresses and preventing any weird edge cases from slipping through.
Proposed fix:
if !is_checksum_valid(s) {
return Err("Invalid checksum for Ethereum address. Please check again.");
}
Let me know what you think! Happy to help with the fix if needed.

Research direction
Start in account.rs around line 45 and inspect the existing Ethereum address checksum validation. Compare its behavior with the EIP-55 standard and determine which mismatches are currently accepted; the work is done when invalid checksums are rejected with the stated error without weakening valid-address handling.
