Keys

Generate new random keys

To generate a new key pair use the generate() method:

Rust
pub fn generate() -> Result<()> {
    let keys = Keys::generate();

    let public_key = keys.public_key();
    let secret_key = keys.secret_key();

    println!("Public key (hex): {}", public_key);
    println!("Public key (bech32): {}", public_key.to_bech32()?);
    println!("Secret key (hex): {}", keys.secret_key().to_secret_hex());
    println!("Secret key (bech32): {}", secret_key.to_bech32()?);

    Ok(())
}
Python
def generate():
    keys = Keys.generate()
    public_key = keys.public_key()
    secret_key = keys.secret_key()

    print("Keys:")
    print(" Public keys:")
    print(f"     hex:    {public_key.to_hex()}")
    print(f"     bech32: {public_key.to_bech32()}")
    print()
    print(" Secret keys:")
    print(f"     hex:    {secret_key.to_hex()}")
    print(f"     bech32: {secret_key.to_bech32()}")
JavaScript
export function generate() {
    // Generate new random keys
    let keys = Keys.generate();
    console.log("Public key (hex): ", keys.publicKey.toHex());
    console.log("Secret key (hex): ", keys.secretKey.toHex());

    console.log("Public key (bech32): ", keys.publicKey.toBech32());
    console.log("Secret key (bech32): ", keys.secretKey.toBech32());
}

    val secretKey = keys.secretKey();

    println("Public key (hex): ${publicKey.toHex()}");
