Naming Conventions

When you are naming accounts, domains, or assets, you have to keep in mind the following conventions used in Iroha:

1. There is a number of reserved characters that are used for specific types of constructs:

   • @ is reserved for account address and legacy account-selector forms
   • # is reserved for asset aliases and asset balance literals
   • $ is reserved for trigger-scoped textual forms
   • % is reserved for validator-scoped textual forms

2. The maximum number of characters (including UTF-8 characters) a name can have is limited by two factors: [0, u32::MAX] and the currently allocated stack space.
