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 12CPLrAUPvhVwjZqBgww3sLdEg4Z888R1j
5 3 Bitcoin script hash
21 4 Bitcoin (compact) public key (proposed)
48 L Litecoin pubkey hash LhK2kQwiaAvhjWY799cZvMyYwnQAcxkarr
52 M or N Namecoin pubkey hash NATX6zEUNfxfvgVwz8qVnnw3hLhhYXhgQn
95 f Fairbrix pubkey hash fF6o8LeDAfswEpMbCW8BqaqmzMWS7TGgew
97 g GeistGeld pubkey hash gK5Lx6ypWgr69Gw9yGzE6dsA7kcuCRZRK
105 j i0coin pubkey hash jWmCr5cKeQjV4iyfUyipfLGwVML8MvXhF2
111 m or n Bitcoin testnet pubkey hash mkJ7Bf5chdfw61d1m7gnDVAQV3EQQAb8iz
125 s Solidcoin pubkey hash sXNaMoYBocjcQJRLK53dkaQ5mWuKfvHB9f
127 t Tenebrix pubkey hash tUK2EQTMF6cN6vuNEfJtVf1BMqarvEZJBL
128 5 Private key 5Htn3FzuH3b1X5VF2zLTsAQzBcyzkZNJsa2egXN8ZFJTCqQm3Rq
138 x ixcoin pubkey hash xoKDFH4uWpyzxUcCC5jCLFujRKayv3HHcV
196 2 Bitcoin testnet script hash
