# SS58 Registry

[![GitHub license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache2-green)](#LICENSE) [![GitLab Status](https://gitlab.parity.io/parity/ss58-registry/badges/main/pipeline.svg)](https://gitlab.parity.io/parity/ss58-registry/pipelines)

A list of known [SS58](https://docs.substrate.io/reference/address-formats/) account types as an enum, typically used by the Polkadot, Kusama or Substrate ecosystems.

These are derived from the [json data file](ss58-registry.json) in this repository which contains entries like this:

```js

{

	"prefix": 5,                       // unique u16

	"network": "astar",                // unique no spaces

	"displayName": "Astar Network",    //

	"symbols": ["ASTR"],               // symbol for each instance of the Balances pallet (usually one)

	"decimals": [18],                  // decimals for each symbol listed

	"standardAccount": "*25519",       // Sr25519, Ed25519 or secp256k1

	"website": "https://astar.network" // website or code repository of network

},

```

## Process

1. Fork and clone this repo.

2. Add an additional account type to `ss58-registry.json` (contiguous prefixes are better).

3. Bump the minor (middle) version number of the `Cargo.toml` by running:

```

cargo install cargo-bump && cargo bump minor

```

4. Run git stage, commit, push and then raise a pull request.

5. Once the PR has landed, one of the admins can

[create a new release](https://github.com/paritytech/ss58-registry/releases/new).

This will release the new version to [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/ss58-registry)
