Module encoding 

Shared encoding utilities used across all chain modules.

Centralizes Bitcoin compact-size (varint), Bech32/Bech32m, and Base58Check encoding so chain modules don’t duplicate these building blocks.

Functions

base58check_decode

Decode a Base58Check string. Returns (version, payload).

base58check_encode

Encode data with Base58Check: Base58(version ‖ payload ‖ checksum[0..4]).

bech32_encode

Encode a SegWit/Taproot address using Bech32 (v0) or Bech32m (v1+).

encode_compact_size

Encode a Bitcoin compact-size integer into a buffer.

read_compact_size

Read a Bitcoin compact-size integer from a byte slice at the given offset.
