# Encoding onion addresses \[ONIONADDRESS\]
The onion address of a hidden service includes its identity public key, a
version field and a basic checksum. All this information is then base32
encoded as shown below:
```text
onion_address = base32(PUBKEY | CHECKSUM | VERSION) + ".onion"
CHECKSUM = H(".onion checksum" | PUBKEY | VERSION)[:2]
where:
- PUBKEY is the 32 bytes ed25519 master pubkey of the hidden service.
- VERSION is a one byte version field (default value '\x03')
- ".onion checksum" is a constant string
- CHECKSUM is truncated to two bytes before inserting it in onion_address
Here are a few example addresses:
pg6mmjiyjmcrsslvykfwnntlaru7p5svn6y2ymmju6nubxndf4pscryd.onion
sp3k262uwy4r2k3ycr5awluarykdpag6a7y33jxop4cs2lu5uz5sseqd.onion
xa4r2iadxm55fbnqgwwi5mymqdcofiu3w6rpbtqn7b2dyn7mgwj64jyd.onion
```
