Stub TypeScript definitions entry for bs58, which provides its own types definitions
This is a stub types definition for @types/bs58 (https://github.com/cryptocoinjs/bs58#readme).
bs58 provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/bs58 installed!
The base-x package provides a generic base encoding/decoding for any base between 2 and 58. It is more flexible than bs58 as it allows you to define your own alphabet for encoding and decoding. This can be useful if you need to work with different base encodings beyond Base58.
The bs58check package extends bs58 by adding a checksum to the encoded data. This is particularly useful in cryptocurrency applications where data integrity is crucial. It ensures that the encoded data has not been altered or corrupted.
