Base58

  • Base58 is a set of characters you can use to represent big numbers in a shorter and more user-friendly format.
  • The more characters you have in your base, the less of them you will need to use to represent big numbers. So the bigger your base, the shorter your “number” can be.
  • Because 58 is the number of characters you are left with when you use all the characters in the alphanumeric alphabet (62), but remove all the easily mistakable characters like 0, O, l and I.
