Description
The address that MetaMask returns accounts[0] is not in the same format as stored on the blockchain.
From MM:
```
0xd034739c2ae807c70cd703092b946f62a49509d1
```
From the Blockchain:
```
0xD034739C2aE807C70Cd703092b946f62a49509D1
```
Please add the option to get the address in the Standard Ethereum Format.
Perhaps you already do this, and I missed it somehow, then I am apologize.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how accounts[0] is returned from MetaMask to determine where address formatting is selected. Compare the MetaMask address with the mixed-case blockchain example, then define and verify an option that returns the requested Standard Ethereum Format.
