which contains required prefix and/or suffix.

## What is the purpose of this tool?

Having ETH address, with few letters which are defined by us, makes it easier
to visually identify this account among others. In opposite to
[Ethereum Name Service](https://ens.domains/), it doesn't require special
support by wallet implementation and it's for free.
