Vezgo Updates #11: Expanding Wallet Tracking with xPub, yPub, and zPub Support in Vezgo

Overcoming Gap Limit Challenges and Empowering Businesses

You’ll love this one!

We’ve had xPub support for a while now. We even did an article to explain how to track Bitcoin xPub Keys through Vezgo. With xPub done and dusted, we set our sights on its siblings, yPub and zPub.

And today, we’re glad to announce support for yPub and zPub to our Crypto API!

Quick Recap:

What are xPub, yPub, and zPub?

They’re all extended public keys. They offer read-only access to wallets, allowing you to view their transactions, balances, and addresses. 

xPub, yPub, and zPub all do the same things, only that yPub is compatible with the BIP49 standard that was introduced at the adoption of SegWit with an address type P2SH-P2WPKH. Similarly, zPub is BIP49 compatible but is only for P2WPKH address types.

Another difference is that xPubs start with “1,” yPubs start with “3,” and zPubs start with “bc1.”

💫What Vezgo’s xPub, yPub, and zPub Supports mean for you💫

There’s now no limit to the wallets you want to track. This update helps you get a hold of the xPub, yPub, as well as zPub of your clients, and be able to build meaningful innovations around them.

Overcoming the Gap Limit Challenge

We are thrilled to announce that we have successfully tackled the gap limit challenge associated with xPub connectors. Our innovative approach in handling xPub, yPub, and zPub connectors effectively circumvents the gap limit constraint, ensuring seamless address generation and management for all your wallet tracking requirements.

This breakthrough not only enhances our connectors’ capabilities but also grants our users greater flexibility and efficiency when working with HD wallets.
