Enumeration CashAddressVersionByte

The CashAddress specification standardizes the format of the version byte:

  • Most significant bit: reserved, must be 0
  • next 4 bits: Address Type
  • 3 least significant bits: Payload Length

Two Address Type values are currently standardized:

  • 0 (0b0000): P2PKH
  • 1 (0b0001): P2SH

And two are proposed by CHIP-2022-02-CashTokens:

  • 2 (0b0010): P2PKH + Token Support
  • 3 (0b0011): P2SH + Token Support

The CashAddress specification standardizes expected payload length using CashAddressLengthBits. Currently, two length bit values are in use by standard CashAddress types:

  • 0 (0b000): 20 bytes (in use by p2pkh and p2sh20)
  • 3 (0b011): 32 bytes (in use by p2sh32)
