Usage

import { publicKeyToAddress } from '@stacks/transactions';

// With network name
const address = publicKeyToAddress(
  '03ef788b3830c00abe8f64f62dc32fc863bc0b2cafeb073b6c8e1c7657d9c2c3ab'
);
// mainnet address by default

const testnetAddress = publicKeyToAddress(
  '03ef788b3830c00abe8f64f62dc32fc863bc0b2cafeb073b6c8e1c7657d9c2c3ab',
  'testnet'
);

// With explicit address version (legacy overload)
import { AddressVersion } from '@stacks/transactions';
const legacyAddress = publicKeyToAddress(
  AddressVersion.MainnetSingleSig,
  '03ef788b3830c00abe8f64f62dc32fc863bc0b2cafeb073b6c8e1c7657d9c2c3ab'
