The native segwit address format is defined in BIP-173:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki[BIP-173]:: Base32 address format for native v0-16 witness outputs
BIP-173 only encodes witness (P2WPKH and P2WSH) scripts. It is not compatible with non-segwit P2PKH or P2SH scripts. BIP-173 is a checksummed Base32 encoding, as compared to the Base58 encoding of a "traditional" bitcoin address. BIP-173 addesses are also called _bech32_ addresses, pronounced "beh-ch thirty two", alluding to the use of a "BCH" error detection algorithm and 32-character encoding set.
