Base64
1 min read
Base64 is an encoding scheme used to encode Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs). The Base64 alphabet uses 64 characters, including all upper and lowercase letters, the digits 0-9, and the ‘+’ and ‘/’ characters. Due to its long alphabet, Base64 can display data efficiently, but is less readable. Thus, Base64 is used to encode data that is not often read or transmitted by humans.
