Crate pallas_addresses 

Encode and decode Cardano addresses of every kind.

Byron, Shelley payment, and stake addresses are all parsed through the same Address entry point: feed it a bech32 / base58 / hex string (or raw bytes), match on the variant, and inspect the network, payment credential, delegation, or pointer parts. Address shape follows CIP-19.

Usage

use pallas_addresses::Address;

let addr = Address::from_bech32(
    "addr1qx2fxv2umyhttkxyxp8x0dlpdt3k6cwng5pxj3jhsydzer3\
     n0d3vllmyqwsx5wktcd8cc3sq835lu7drv2xwl2wywfgse35a3x",
)?;

match addr {
    Address::Byron(b)   => println!("byron:   {}", b.to_base58()),
    Address::Shelley(s) => println!("shelley: {} on {:?}", s.to_bech32()?, s.network()),
    Address::Stake(s)   => println!("stake:   {}", s.to_bech32()?),
}

Overview

• Address — top-level decoded form, dispatching to the three variants.
• ByronAddress, ShelleyAddress, StakeAddress — per-kind decoded representations.
• ShelleyPaymentPart, ShelleyDelegationPart, StakePayload, Pointer — the structural pieces that make up a Shelley / stake address.
• Network — Mainnet / Testnet / Other(u8) discriminator parsed from the address header.
• byron submodule — Byron-specific structures and CBOR helpers.
• varuint submodule — variable-length integer codec used by stake pointers.

Usage as part of pallas
