Ethereum wallets with BIP utilies: A step -by -step guide
Introduction
BIP UTILS is a Python package that offers a set of features for generating and managing ETHREUM wallets. In this article, we will explore the use of the bip_utils package to create and manage a new Ethereum wallet.
The necessary libraries
Before you can start using bip_utils you need to install the following libraries:
Py Ethereum Pallets: a Python package for interaction with Ethereum wallets.
Hashlib: the built -in library for Hashing and cryptographic operations in Python.
Secrets': an incorporated library that offers a safe way to generate random numbers.
Installation of the necessary libraries
You can install these libraries using PIP:
Bash
PIP Install Secrets Pyethereum Wallet-Hashlib
Creating a new wallet
To create a new Ethereum wallet, you must use the following functions frombip_utils:
- Bip39mnemonicgenerator ()
: generates a random mnemonic phrase.
- Bip39seedgenerator ()
: generates a sentence of seeds.
- Bip44
: the type of Bitcoin public keys.
Here is an example of a code fragment that demonstrates how to create a new wallet:
Python
From BIP_UTILS IMPORT BIP39MNEMONICGENERATOR, BIP39SEEDGENERATOR, BIP44
Generates a random mnemonic phrase
mnemonic = bip39mnemonicgenerator ()
Create a phrase of seed from the mnemonic phrase
seed_phrase = bip39seedgenerator (mnemonic) .seed_phrase
Convert the phrase of seeds to a public key type Bitcoin (SECP256K1)
Public_key = bip44 (seed_phrase, none)
Print ("Name wallet:", mnemonic.to_wallet_name ())
Print ("Seed phrase:", seed_phrase.to_wallet_me ())
Print ("Public key:", public_key.to_wallet_me ())
This code generates a random mnemonic phrase usingbip39mnemonicgenerator (), creates a phrase from the mnemonic phrase usingbip39seedgenerator ()and transforms the seed phrase into a public key Bitcoin (SECP256K1) usingBIP44 ().
MANAGEMENT OF PLAFE
To handle your wallet, you can use the following functions frombip_utils:
- Get_Mnemonic ()
: Returns the current Mnemonic phrase.
- get_seed_phrase ()
: Returns the current seed phrase.
- sign_message ()
: Sign a message using the private key associated with the wallet.
Here is an example of a code fragment that demonstrates how to manage your wallet:
Python
From BIP_UTILS IMPORT BIP39MNEMONICGENERATOR, BIP39SEEDGENERATOR, BIP44
Get the current Mnemonic phrase
mnemonic = bip39mnemonicgenerator ()
Create a phrase of seed from the mnemonic phrase
seed_phrase = bip39seedgenerator (mnemonic) .seed_phrase
Sign a message using the private key associated with the wallet
Message = "Hello, world!"
Private_Key = bip44 (seed_phrase, none)
Sign_message (Private_Key, message)
Print ("Mnemonic phrase:", mnemonic.to_wallet_name ())
Print ("Seed phrase:", seed_phrase.to_wallet_me ())
This code receives the current Mnemonic phrase usingbip39mnemongenerator (), creates a phrase of the mnemonic phrase usingbip39seedgenerator (), signs a message using the private key associated with the wallet print the signature.
Conclusion
In this article, we have shown how to use thebip_utilspackage to create and manage a new Ethereum wallet. We covered the necessary libraries (Py Ethereum Pallets and Hashlib), I created a new wallet using bip39mnemonicgenerator () , we created a phrase from the mnemonic phrase using bip39seedgenerator () , converted the seed phrase into -A Bitcoin Bitcoin Public Key Tip (secp256k1) usingbip44 (), managed the wallet usingget_mnemonic (), get_seed_phrase ()and sign_message ()` functions.
