Chain parameters table
Address version bytes, bech32 prefixes, WIF bytes, SLIP-44 coin types and checksum types for 41 chains, in one table.
Every Bitcoin-family chain picks its own version bytes for P2PKH and P2SH addresses, its own bech32 human-readable part and its own WIF byte; other chains record their checksum and transaction format. These parameters are what the validator, converter and xpub tools on this site use.

FAQ
- What is a version byte?
- The first byte of a Base58Check address. It decides the leading character, for example 0 gives Bitcoin's 1ā¦ and 48 gives Litecoin's Lā¦.
- Where does the data come from?
- From the same parameter table the address tools use, so the page and the tools always agree.
- Is it safe?
- Yes. It shows public constants only.
