//! A Radicle node on the network is identified by its [`NodeId`], which in turn
//! is a Ed25519 public key.
//!
//! The human-readable format is a multibase-encoded format of the underlying Ed25519 public key, i.e.
//! ```
//! MULTIBASE(base58-btc, MULTICODEC(public-key-type, raw-public-key-bytes))
//! ```
//! which results in strings that look like:
//! ```
//! z6MknSLrJoTcukLrE435hVNQT4JUhbvWLX4kUzqkEStBU8Vi
//! ```
