# AddressVersion

Enum representing the address version byte used in encoded Stacks addresses. The address version determines the address type and network.

Every Stacks address starts with `S` followed by a single character indicating the address version. The second character is the c32-encoded `AddressVersion` byte.

***

### Usage

```ts
import { AddressVersion } from '@stacks/network';

// Check if an address version is for mainnet single-sig
if (addressVersion === AddressVersion.MainnetSingleSig) {
  console.log('This is a mainnet single-sig address (SP...)');
}
```
