For context, see the CAIP-10 specification.
In CAIP-10, a string-based general account address scheme is defined. XRPL addresses are identified by an address in the XRP Ledger's base58btc encoding. The address is derived from an account's master public key. An XRPL address is a string with the following characteristics.
- It is between 25 and 35 characters long, inclusive.
- It starts with the character
r - It uses alpanumerical characters excluding number
0, lowercase letter"l"and capital letters["O", "I"]. - It is case-sensitive
- It includes a 4-byte checksum making the probabilty of generating a valid address from random characters approximately 1 in 232
The account_id is a case-sensitive string in the form:
account_id: chain_id + ":" + account_address
chain_id: See [CAIP-2][]
account_address: r[1-9a-hj-zA-HJ-NP-Z]{24,34}
The chain_id is specified by the CAIP-2 which describes the blockchain id.
The account_address is the address to an account on the XRPL.
