Keypair

Keypair

Keypair represents public (and secret) keys of the account.

Currently Keypair only supports ed25519 but in a future this class can be abstraction layer for other public-key signature systems.

Use more convenient methods to create Keypair object:

Constructor

new Keypair(keys)

Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
keys object

At least one of keys must be provided.

Name Type Attributes Description
type string

Public-key signature system name. (currently only ed25519 keys are supported)

publicKey Buffer <optional>

Raw public key

secretKey Buffer <optional>

Raw secret key (32-byte secret seed in ed25519`)

Methods

(static) fromBase58Seed(seed) → {Keypair}

Base58 address encoding is DEPRECATED! Use this method only for transition to strkey encoding.

Deprecated:
Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
seed string

Base58 secret seed

Returns:
Type:
Keypair

(static) fromPublicKey(publicKey) → {Keypair}

Creates a new Keypair object from public key.

Source:
Parameters:

publicKey string

public key (ex. GB3KJPLFUYN5VL6R3GU3EGCGVCKFDSD7BEDX42HWG5BWFKB3KQGJJRMA)

Returns:

(static) fromRawEd25519Seed(rawSeed) → {Keypair}

Creates a new Keypair object from ed25519 secret key seed raw bytes.

Source:
Parameters:
Name Type Description
rawSeed Buffer

Returns:
Type:
Keypair

(static) fromSecret(secret) → {Keypair}

Creates a new Keypair instance from secret. This can either be secret key or secret seed depending on underlying public-key signature system. Currently Keypair only supports ed25519.
