Using private keys to create wallets

Directly from a private key

An example of how to create a wallet that uses a private key signer:

rust,ignore

{{#include ../../../examples/wallets/src/lib.rs:create_wallet_from_secret_key}}

There is also a helper for generating a wallet with a random private key signer:

rust,ignore

{{#include ../../../examples/wallets/src/lib.rs:create_random_wallet}}

From a mnemonic phrase

A mnemonic phrase is a cryptographically generated sequence of words used to create a master seed. This master seed, when combined with a derivation path, enables the generation of one or more specific private keys. The derivation path acts as a roadmap within the hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallet structure, determining which branch of the key tree produces the desired private key.

rust,ignore

{{#include ../../../examples/wallets/src/lib.rs:create_wallet_from_mnemonic}}

Security Best Practices

Never Share Sensitive Information: Do not disclose your private key or mnemonic phrase to anyone.
Secure Storage: When storing keys on disk, always encrypt them (the SDK provides a Keystore. This applies to both plain private/secret keys and mnemonic phrases.
