Base58 Check Encoding is a method used to encode data in a more user-friendly way. It is particularly common in the creation of wallet addresses. The “Base58” part refers to a set of 58 characters that exclude similar-looking ones, like 0 (zero), O (capital o), I (capital i), and l (lowercase L).

This helps prevent mistakes when users are reading or entering addresses. The “Check” part involves adding a checksum to the encoded data. This checksum helps verify the integrity of the data. When a user inputs an address, the system can check its validity by recalculating the checksum and comparing it with the one included in the address.

Together, these features make Base58 Check Encoding a reliable and user-friendly way to handle addresses. It ensures that transactions are secure and reduces the chances of errors during manual entry.
