iotex-address
This is the golang library of the address used in IoTeX blockchain and relatant products and services.
Address Generation Algorithm
A human readable address looks like io1nyjs526mnqcsx4twa7nptkg08eclsw5c2dywp4. It takes the following steps to be constructed:
- Generating public key (
pk) by using secp256k1's elliptic curve. - Apply keccak256 hash function public key bytes, exluding the first byte (
hash := keccak256(pk[1:]). - Taking the late 20 bytes as the payload (
payload := hash[12:]), which is the byte representation of the address. - Appying bech32 encoding on the payload and adding
ioprefix.
