# SS58 Registry

**SUBSTRATE-BASED CHAINS USE AN** [**SS58 ENCODING**](https://docs.substrate.io/v3/advanced/ss58/) **FOR THEIR ADDRESS FORMATS.**

Please see the [SS58 registry](https://github.com/paritytech/ss58-registry/) to see which [chain corresponds to a given prefix](https://github.com/paritytech/ss58-registry/blob/main/ss58-registry.json), and which prefixes are available.
