Base58 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes used to represent large integers as alphanumeric text. It is similar to Base64 but omits characters that could be ambiguously interpreted when printed (0, O, I, l) and omits the '+' and '/' characters to avoid issues with URL encoding. . Base58 is notably used in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, where it's employed for encoding addresses and private keys. This library offers a straightforward and efficient way to perform Base58 operations within Go applications. . The package contains the source code for the Go library.
