+::: tip
+The Cosmos SDK Keyring output (i.e `ethermintcli keys`) only supports addresses and public keys in Bech32 format.
+:::
+
+To retrieve the Ethereum hex address using Web3, use the JSON-RPC `eth_accounts` endpoint:
+
+```bash
+# query against a local node
+curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_accounts","params":[],"id":1}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:26664
