Ethereum: Library for generating HD keys/addresses (ideally for python)
Ethereum Library: Generation of Keys/HD Addresses in Python
As an ethereum developer, you need a reliable way to generate high quality HDS and addresses. This item offers a python library that meets your requirements.
General Presentation
The next library uses the SECP256K1 Module from the Bitcoin Foundation to get the HD Keys and Addresses from the Private Keys. It is designed to be fast, safe and easy to use.
Installation
To install the library, run the following command:
`Bash
Pip Install SECP256K1-PY
use
Create a New Python File (egEthereum_utils.py) and Import The Library:
Python
Import SECP256K1
DEF DERIVE_HD_KEY (PRIVATE_KEY):
"" ""
Derive an HD key from a private key.
Args:
Private_Key (Bytes): The Private Key to Derive.
Returns:
Bytes: The Derived HD Key.
"" ""
Returns SECP256K1.DERIVE_PRIVATE_KEY (Private_Key)
Def Generate_address (HD_KY, Network):
"" ""
Generate an address from a key and HD network.
Args:
HD_KEY (bytes): HD key to use.
Network (STR): Ethereum network to use (for example, "mainnet", "Testnet").
Returns:
STR: The address generated.
"" ""
Return SECP256K1.HODL (HD_KY, Network)
Example of Use
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF How You can use the Library:
Python
Import Ethereum_utils
Generate a private key from a seed phrase
seed_phrase = "your_seed_phrase_here
Private_key = Ethereum_utils.derive_HD_KEY.FROM_SECret (seed_phrase)
Derives an hd key
Hd_key = ethereum
Generate an address on mainnet
Address = Ethereum_utils.Generate_address (HD_KY, "Mainnet")
Print (address)
Network Specific Settings
The Library uses theSECP256K1Module to obtain HD Keys and Addresses. However, it also offers some special network settings you can use according to your needs.
- To generate testnet addresses, setnetwork = ‘testnet’
in the functiongenerate_address ().
- To generate mainnet addresses, setnetwork = ‘Mainnet’
in the function 'generate_address ().
- You can also specify a specific network version (for example, “mainnet-v1.0”), passing it as an argument to the
derive_hd_key ()andgenerate_address ().
Orientations for Messages Commit
For your employment message, follow these guidelines:
- Use the current Voltage (for Example, “Add the Library for Generating Keys/HD Addresses”)
- Keep the Message Concise and Description
- Avoid Using Abbreviations and Acronyms Unless they are widely recognized in the community
Here is an example of a well -formed committee message:
`Bash
Git Commit -m "Add the Library To Generate HD Keys/Addresses"
`
Following these guidelines, you can create a reliable and maintained python library, which helps you generate high quality HDS and HD addresses.
