One of Libwally's greatest powers is that it can lay bare the underlying work of creating addresses. In particular, it supports [BIP32](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0032.mediawiki), which allows you to manipulate HD wallets, which are Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets, as described in [§3.5](03_5_Understanding_the_Descriptor.md).
|
In [§16.2](16_2_Using_BIP39_in_Libwally.md), you were able to use entropy to generate a seed and its related mnemonic. As you may recall from [§3.5: Understanding the Descriptor](03_5_Understanding_the_Descriptor.md), a seed is the basis of a Hierchical Deterministic (HD) Wallet, where that single seed can be used to generate many addresses. So how do you get from the seed to actual addresses? That's where [BIP32](https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/BIP_0032) comes in.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Creating HD Addresses
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To create a HD address requires starting with a seed, and then walking down the hierarchy until the point that you create addresses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
That starts off easily enough, you just generate a seed, which you already did in the previous section:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
unsigned char entropy[16];
|
||||||
|
randombytes_buf(entropy, 16);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
char *mnem = NULL;
|
||||||
|
lw_response = bip39_mnemonic_from_bytes(NULL,entropy,16,&mnem);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
unsigned char seed[BIP39_SEED_LEN_512];
|
||||||
|
size_t seed_len;
|
||||||
|
lw_response = bip39_mnemonic_to_seed(mnem,NULL,seed,BIP39_SEED_LEN_512,&seed_len);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
### Generating a Root Key
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With a seed in hand, you can then generate a master extended key with the `bip32_key_from_seed_alloc` function (or alternatively the `bip32_key_from_seed`, which doesn't do the `alloc`):
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
struct ext_key *key_root;
|
||||||
|
lw_response = bip32_key_from_seed_alloc(seed,sizeof(seed),BIP32_VER_TEST_PRIVATE,0,&key_root);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
As you can see, you'll need to tell it what version of the key to return, in this case `BIP32_VER_TEST_PRIVATE`, a private testnet key.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> :link: **TESTNET vs MAINNET:** On mainnet, you'd instead ask for `BIP32_VER_TEST_PRIVATE`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Generating xpub & xprv
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Whenever you have a key in hand, you can turn it into xpub or xprv keys for distribution with the `bip32_key_to_base58` command. You just tell it whether you want a `PRIVATE` (xprv) or `PUBLIC` (xpub) key:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
char *xprv;
|
||||||
|
lw_response = bip32_key_to_base58(key_root, BIP32_FLAG_KEY_PRIVATE, &xprv);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
char *xpub;
|
||||||
|
lw_response = bip32_key_to_base58(key_root, BIP32_FLAG_KEY_PUBLIC, &xpub);
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
