  NEAR wallet addresses are formatted using a combination of letters and numbers. They usually start with 'NEAR' followed by a series of characters. The format is similar to other cryptocurrency wallet addresses, such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. This format ensures that each NEAR wallet address is unique and can be easily recognized by the NEAR network. It also helps prevent errors when sending NEAR tokens to the wrong address.
