;; Example usage
(btc-to-stx "1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa") ;; Returns Stacks address

Description

Convert Bitcoin addresses to their corresponding Stacks addresses using base58 decoding in Clarity

Use Cases

• Cross-chain address mapping for Bitcoin-Stacks bridges

• Verifying ownership across both chains

• Converting legacy Bitcoin addresses to Stacks format

• Building cross-chain authentication systems

Key Concepts

• Base58 decoding - Bitcoin addresses use base58 encoding

• Checksum verification - Last 4 bytes are a double SHA-256 checksum

• Version mapping - Bitcoin version bytes map to Stacks version bytes

• Principal construction - Build Stacks principal from decoded data
