Blockchain-based currencies use addresses, which are a Base58Check encoding of some hash, typically that of a public key. The encoding includes a version byte, which affects the first character in the address. The following is a list of some prefixes which are in use.

Decimal version Leading symbol Use Example
0 1 Bitcoin pubkey hash 17VZNX1SN5NtKa8UQFxwQbFeFc3iqRYhem
5 3 Bitcoin script hash 3EktnHQD7RiAE6uzMj2ZifT9YgRrkSgzQX
111 m or n Bitcoin testnet pubkey hash mipcBbFg9gMiCh81Kj8tqqdgoZub1ZJRfn
128 5 Bitcoin Private key 5Hwgr3u458GLafKBgxtssHSPqJnYoGrSzgQsPwLFhLNYskDPyyA
196 2 Testnet script hash
239 9 Testnet Private key 92Pg46rUhgTT7romnV7iGW6W1gbGdeezqdbJCzShkCsYNzyyNcc

The following table shows the leading symbol(s) and address length(s) for 160 bit hashes for each of the possible decimal version values:
