About

Base58 encoding uses 58 characters, excluding 0, O, I, and l to avoid confusion. It's similar to Base64 but without special characters. Base58 is used by Bitcoin addresses and is popular for generating compact, URL-safe identifiers that avoid ambiguous characters. The alphabet consists of numbers and letters, excluding visually similar characters to prevent errors in transcription.

Use Cases

  • •Bitcoin and cryptocurrency addresses
  • •URL-safe identifiers avoiding ambiguous characters
  • •Compact unique identifiers
  • •Human-readable IDs without special characters
  • •Systems requiring alphanumeric-only IDs
  • •Blockchain and cryptocurrency applications

How to Generate

Library

short-uuid (uses Base58 internally)

NPM Package

npm install short-uuid uuid

Code Example

import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
import short from 'short-uuid';

const translator = short();
const base58Id = translator.fromUUID(uuidv4());

Note: short-uuid uses Base58 encoding internally. For pure Base58 encoding, consider libraries like 'bs58'.
