The first one (FBPLS) is an address. An address wraps an ed25519 public key, which is a 32 byte array. The string representation is computed by appending a 4 byte checksum (computed by taking the last 4 bytes of a SHA512/256 digest of the public key) to the public key, giving us a 36 byte array, and…
