Instantiating Wallets

Wallets can be instantiated in multiple ways within the SDK.

Generating new wallets

To generate a new, unlocked wallet, use the generate method. This method creates a new WalletUnlocked instance, which is immediately ready for use.

Instantiating Unlocked Wallets

Creating WalletUnlocked instances of your existing wallets is easy and can be done in several ways:

From a private key:

From a mnemonic phrase:

<<< @./snippets/instantiating/from-mnemonic-phrase.ts#instantiating-wallets-3{ts:line-numbers}

From a seed:

<<< @./snippets/instantiating/from-seed.ts#instantiating-wallets-4{ts:line-numbers}

From a Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) derived key:

<<< @./snippets/instantiating/from-hd-derived-key.ts#instantiating-wallets-5{ts:line-numbers}

From a JSON wallet:

<<< @./snippets/instantiating/from-json-wallet.ts#instantiating-wallets-6{ts:line-numbers}

It's possible to instantiate a WalletUnlocked from a WalletLocked:

<<< @./snippets/instantiating/unlock-from-private-key.ts#instantiating-wallets-7{ts:line-numbers}

Instantiating Locked Wallets

You can also instantiate WalletLocked instances using just the wallet address:

<<< @./snippets/instantiating/from-b256-address.ts#instantiating-wallets-8{ts:line-numbers}

Connecting to a Provider

While wallets can be used independently of a Provider, operations requiring blockchain interaction will need one.

Connecting an existing wallet to a Provider:

<<< @./snippets/instantiating/connect-existing-wallet.ts#instantiating-wallets-9{ts:line-numbers}

Instantiating a wallet with a Provider:

<<< @./snippets/instantiating/connect-new-wallet.ts#instantiating-wallets-10{ts:line-numbers}
