# Tron address functions

> Utilities for working with TRON's custom address format.

Tron blockchain adopted a custom type of addresses. It is similar to [Base58](/query-engine/Functions-and-operators/base58) encoding format, with some modifications.

Under basic tron address encoding format an address can be encoded as:

```
base58encode ( concat ( <constant-prefix>, <address>, <checksum> ) )
```
