NKN Wallet Address Scheme

PrefixUint160Uint32
Fool-proof design160 bits Hash of RedeemScriptChecksum
  • Prefix:
Prefix is 0x02b825 (such that wallet address always starts with "NKN")
  • 160 bits Hash of RedeemScript:
generate RedeemScript from publicKey, and hash it with ripemd160
  • Checksum:
SHA256 hash twice with (Prefix + Uint160), retain lowest 32bits

Valid address range

As Address Scheme definition, the valid address range (without consider Checksum) should be:

MinimalMaximum
Expr(0x2b825<<192)｜(0^160)<<32｜0^32(0x2b825<<192)｜(1<<160)-1)<<32｜0xffffffff
