Module bech32::segwit

source ·
Expand description

Segregated Witness API - enables typical usage for encoding and decoding segwit addresses.

BIP-173 and BIP-350 contain some complexity. This module aims to allow you to create modern Bitcoin addresses correctly and easily without intimate knowledge of the BIPs. However, if you do posses such knowledge and are doing unusual things you may prefer to use the primitives submodules directly.

§Examples

use bech32::{hrp, segwit, Fe32, Hrp};

let witness_prog = [
    0x75, 0x1e, 0x76, 0xe8, 0x19, 0x91, 0x96, 0xd4,
    0x54, 0x94, 0x1c, 0x45, 0xd1, 0xb3, 0xa3, 0x23,
    0xf1, 0x43, 0x3b, 0xd6,
];

// Encode a taproot address suitable for use on mainnet.
let _ = segwit::encode_v1(hrp::BC, &witness_prog);

// Encode a segwit v0 address suitable for use on testnet.
let _ = segwit::encode_v0(hrp::TB, &witness_prog);

// If you have the witness version already you can use:
let _ = segwit::encode(hrp::BC, witness_version, &witness_prog);

// Decode a Bitcoin bech32 segwit address.
let address = "bc1q2s3rjwvam9dt2ftt4sqxqjf3twav0gdx0k0q2etxflx38c3x8tnssdmnjq";
let (hrp, witness_version, witness_program) = segwit::decode(address).expect("failed to decode address");

Structs§
