Serialise an address to the external format.

An address for UTxO.

Contents of Addr data type are intentionally left as lazy, otherwise operating on compact form of an address will result in redundant work.

The size of the extra attributes in a bootstrap (ie Byron) address. Used to help enforce that people do not post huge ones on the chain.

Return True if a given address is a redeemer address from the Byron Era

Lookup a Network Id for an Address

An account based address for rewards

Serialise an account address to the external format.

Deserialise an account address from the external format. This will fail if the input data is not in the right format (or if there is trailing data).

Deprecated pattern synonym for backward compatibility

Convert Byron's comapct address into CompactAddr. This is just an efficient type cast.

Unwrap the compact address and get to the address' binary representation.

Efficiently check whether compacted adddress is an address with a credential that is a payment script.

Efficiently check whether compated adddress is a Byron address.

Strict decoder for an address from a ByteString. This will not let you decode some of the buggy addresses that have been placed on chain. This decoder is intended for addresses that are to be placed on chian today.

Same as decodeAddr, but produces an Either result

Just like decodeAddrStateLenientT, but enforces the address to be well-formed.

This is the most general decoder for a Cardano address. This function is not meant to be used directly, but it is exported for convenice. decodeAddr and other should be used instead.

While decoding an Addr the header (the first byte in the buffer) is expected to be in a certain format. Here are the meaning of all the bits:

Decoder for an Addr. Works in all eras

This is the decoder for an address that returns both the actual Addr and the bytes, that it was encoded as.

Returns the actual bytes that represent an addres, while ensuring that they can be decoded in any era as an Addr when need be.

Starting with Babbage we no longer allow addresses with garbage in them.

Prior to Babbage era we did not check if a binary blob representing an address was fully consumed, so unfortunately we must preserve this behavior. However, we do not need to preserve the unconsumed bytes in memory, therefore we can drop the garbage after we successfully decoded the malformed address. We also need to allow bogus pointer address to be deserializeable prior to Babbage era.

This is called wdrl in the spec.

Direct deposits to account addresses.
