## Encoding
Base58Check is used to encode a `payload` and a `version` byte. It is done by following the steps described below.
Base58Check is used to encode a **payload** and a **version** byte. It is done by following the steps described below.
1. Take the `version` byte and the `payload` bytes, and concatenate them together (bytewise):
1. Take the version byte and the payload bytes, and concatenate them together (bytewise):
```
version || payload
```
2. Compute the `checksum` by taking the first four bytes of the double SHA256 hash function of this concatenation.
