Excuse me, as a cryptocurrency and finance professional, I've come across numerous technical terms and jargon in my field, but "24 mask" seems to be an unfamiliar one. Could you elaborate on what a "24 mask" refers to in the context of cryptocurrency or finance? Is it related to a specific type of encryption, a trading strategy, or perhaps a security measure? Any clarification or insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

This is calculated by raising 2 to the power of 8, since 8 bits are available for host addresses (2x = 256).
