-YIP addresses consist of 81 trits (27 [[:mediawiki:Balanced Base 27|BB27]] digits). This gives YIP an address space of 3^81 or roughly 4.43*10^38. Since it's [[balanced ternary]], half the space is negative and half is positive. This distinction is likely significant but I'm not yet sure how. Perhaps negative addresses cannot cross the borders between autonomous systems, making them similar to IPv6 unique local addresses or RFC 1918 IPv4 addresses.+YIP addresses consist of 81 trits (27 [[lore:balanced_base_27|BB27]] digits).
