Generate a wallet

import { generateWallet, generateSecretKey } from '@stacks/wallet-sdk';
import { privateKeyToAddress } from '@stacks/transactions'

// Generate a new wallet with a new 24-word seed phrase
const secretKey = generateSecretKey(256); // 256 bits = 24 words
const wallet = await generateWallet({
  secretKey,
  password: 'your-secure-password',
});

// Access the first account
const account = wallet.accounts[0];
const mainnetAddress = privateKeyToAddress(account.stxPrivateKey, 'mainnet');
console.log('Mnemonic:', secretKey);
console.log('Address:', mainnetAddress

Description

Create a new wallet with mnemonic phrase or restore from existing seed

Use Cases

• Creating new wallets for users
• Restoring wallets from seed phrases
• Generating deterministic wallet addresses
• Building wallet applications

Key Concepts

• Secret key - Can be a mnemonic phrase or private key
• Password - Encrypts the wallet (different from mnemonic passphrase)
• Accounts - Multiple accounts can be derived from one seed
• Wallet SDK generates hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets following BIP32/BIP39 standards
