Crypto / Bech32 Toolkit

[sashazykov]

What type of request is this?

New tool idea

Clear and concise description of the feature you are proposing

• Decode Bech32 / Bech32m string

  • Extract HRP
  • Output payload as hex
  • Detect encoding variant (Bech32 or Bech32m)
  • Validate checksum

• Encode to Bech32 / Bech32m

  • Custom HRP input
  • Hex payload input
  • Encoding type selector

Optional additions:

• Checksum validation-only mode
• Auto-detect encoding type
• Batch conversion mode

Is their example of this tool in the wild?

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/bech32

Additional context

Bech32 is widely used across modern cryptographic protocols.
IT-Tools already includes many encoders/decoders (Base64, Hex, URL, etc.), so Bech32 would fit naturally into the existing toolset.

Validations

• Check the feature is not already implemented in the project.
• Check that there isn't already an issue that request the same feature to avoid creating a duplicate.
• Check that the feature can be implemented in a client side only app (IT-Tools is client side only, no server).

Hi @sashazykov implemented: https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/bech32

And if you are interested in an up to date version of it-tools, with many improvements, new tools, and bug fixes, as this repo is almost no more maintained, I made a fork here : https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools (https://sharevb-it-tools.vercel.app/ and docker images https://github.com/sharevb/it-tools/pkgs/container/it-tools)
