| # 16.2: Using BIP32 in Libwally | ||||
| # 16.3: Using BIP32 in Libwally | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| > **NOTE:** This is a draft in progress, so that I can get some feedback from early reviewers. It is not yet ready for learning. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 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); | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### Understanding the Hierarchy | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   /* 5. Generate key for account */ | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   struct ext_key *key_account; | ||||
|    | ||||
|   uint32_t path_account[] = {BIP32_INITIAL_HARDENED_CHILD+84, BIP32_INITIAL_HARDENED_CHILD+1, BIP32_INITIAL_HARDENED_CHILD}; | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   lw_response = bip32_key_from_parent_path_alloc(key_root,path_account,sizeof(path_account),BIP32_FLAG_KEY_PRIVATE,&key_account); | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   if (lw_response) { | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|     printf("Error: bip32_key_from_parent_path_alloc failed: %d\n",lw_response); | ||||

|     exit(-1); | ||||
|      | ||||
|   } | ||||
|    | ||||
|   printf("Account xprv key: %s\r\n", a_xprv); | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   char *a_xpub;   | ||||
|   lw_response = bip32_key_to_base58(key_account, BIP32_FLAG_KEY_PUBLIC, &a_xpub); | ||||

 | ||||

|   printf("Account xpub key: %s\r\n", a_xpub); | ||||

|   /* 6. Generate External Adress Key */ | ||||
|

|   struct ext_key *key_external;   | ||||
|

|   lw_response = bip32_key_from_parent_alloc(key_account,0,BIP32_FLAG_KEY_PRIVATE,&key_external); | ||||

| 
 | ||||
|   lw_response = bip32_key_from_parent_alloc(key_external,0,BIP32_FLAG_KEY_PRIVATE,&key_address); | ||||
|

| 
 | ||||
|     printf("Error: root bip32_key_from_parent_alloc Level #2 failed: %d\n",lw_response); | ||||
|     exit(-1); | ||||
|      | ||||
|   } | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|   /* 7. Generate Address */ | ||||
