Bech32 Example

validate('bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4');

{
  bech32: true,
  network: 'mainnet',
  address: 'bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4',
  type: 'p2wpkh'

Invalid addresses

validate(address) will return false for any invalid address, regardless of the address type:

validate('bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zrrvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4')

false

Networks

This library supports 3 different types of networks: mainnet, testnet and regtest.

Note: When dealing with traditional (non-bech32) addresses, all regtest addresses will be recognized as testnet addresses.
