Address Type¶

enum cardano_address_type_t¶

Enumerates types of addresses used within the Cardano blockchain in the Shelley era and beyond.

Shelley introduces several different types of addresses, each serving distinct purposes and supporting different functionalities. In addition to these new address types, Shelley continues to support Byron-era bootstrap addresses.
