That's an IPv6. Since we don't have enough IPv4 left to use and will run out in a few years

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet. IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion. IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4. IPv6 became a Draft Standard in December 1998, and became an Internet Standard on 14 July 2017.

The IPv4 address pool was actually officially depleted years ago, so there technically are no more "fresh" IPv4 addresses. All IPv4 addresses have been assigned at least once at this point.

The transition to IPv6 is going to be a cumbersome process which will take over a decade to complete. The process has already started. Since most of the internet is not yet compatible with IPv6, you will have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 address if your ISP gives you an IPv6 address at all.

You can type "show my IPv4" into a Google search to find out what your IPv4 is.

a lot of ISPs are starting to hand out exclusively ipv6 ip's. They're the "next generation" of ip addresses. but yeah..not something that is going to be used widely enough for many more years.
