I'm looking for help decoding the string representation for BTC gifts created (but not redeemed) from BRD wallet. (breadwallet)

This has nothing to do with NFTs, BRD tokens or dumb coinbase gifts/marketing. This is for BTC funds, stored in a wallet that breadWallet created when using the "Gift BTC" option of (2021/2022) breadWallet builds.

There's at least one unredeemed BTC URL in it for you, if you can provide the details that successfully allow me to accomplish this redemption.

Context:
Coinbase bought BRD
Coinbase shut down BRD (circa March 2022) along with (?) the web API that would redeem said URL from brd.com using the wallet (mobile) app.

Gifts (BTC) created in breadwallet are thus held hostage by coinbase.
Coinbase refuses (or is insufficiently competent) to assist in redemption of funds.

The gift URL from breadwallet takes the form

https://brd.com/x/gift/someBase64String.....

the base64 string can be decoded with standard base64 tools & appears to result in a base58 string.

This resulting base58 string does not take the form of a WIF Private Key. (doesn't commence with K,L,5)

I'm looking for help decoding the base58 string to (presumably) the private key. I don't know what additional decode is required or what might be represented by the raw base58 string.

The bread codebase is posted on GitHub

Here's an example base64 string from one such URL.

Code:

VDkzQVozZjFMbVBQbktiUXJSaFZENEZERWhNTTFVMVVmWFFickI2WktkWGNBSFd6b0dhQQ==

This decodes to the following (base58 string) as follows;

Code:

echo 'VDkzQVozZjFMbVBQbktiUXJSaFZENEZERWhNTTFVMVVmWFFickI2WktkWGNBSFd6b0dhQQ==' | base64 -d
T93AZ3f1LmPPnKbQrRhVD4FDEhMM1U1UfXQbrB6ZKdXcAHWzoGaA

Equivalent HEX from the base58 would be

Code:

B0B29B59EF7BA9DB3E124EFAA7FD3B55AA0728AD3ADC8165EAD177B45A8CF9DCB801

What's required to further decode the above (recall this is for BTC transferred by breadwallet)

FWIW: I'm also know the corresponding addresses where the funds currently reside. If you're able to ID same from the above, I think we're on the right track.
