πŸ” Base58 Working Principle

  • Character Set: 58 symbols, excluding visually confusing characters (0, O, I, l)
  • Encoding Process: Treat bytes as large integers, convert to Base58 through repeated division
  • Leading Zeros: Each leading 0x00 byte becomes a leading '1' in Base58 output
  • Decoding Process: Reverse process of accumulating Base58 digits back to Base256 bytes
  • Application Scenarios: Widely used in Bitcoin addresses, note that Base58 is a representation method, not encryption

Notes

  • Character Selection: Avoid using easily confused characters like 0, O, I, l
  • Leading 1: The '1' character in Base58 represents leading zero bytes
  • No Padding: Base58 does not use padding characters, length is variable
  • Case Sensitivity: Base58 character set includes both uppercase and lowercase letters, case sensitive
  • Compatibility: Mainly used for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, not compatible with other Base encodings
