@samouraiwallet/bip47

A set of utilities for working with BIP47 and bitcoinjs-lib.

This library uses ES Modules. Node.js v16 or later is required. This library does not use any Node.js built-ins and thus is browser compatible.

Source code was written in Typescript. Type definitions are included in the published bundle.

Usage

ECC library

You need to provide an implementation of secp256k1 elliptic curve.

Supported libraries:

• tiny-secp256k1 - Rust implementation compiled to Webassembly, work in Node.js and browsers but might require reconfiguring your bundler
• @bitcoinerlab/secp256k1 - Javascript implementation which works everywhere but has a lower performance

Examples

• Create an instance of bip47
• Create a PaymetCodePrivate instance from wallet master seed
• Create a PaymetCodePublic instance from payment code string
• Generate a base58 encoded payment code
• Get notification address
• Get notification address public key
• Get notification address private key
• Derive addresses from Alice to Bob
• Derive payment keys from Alice to Bob
• Extract payment code from notification transaction
• Get blinded payment code for notification transaction

Create an instance of bip47

import BIP47Factory from "@samouraiwallet/bip47";
import * as ecc from "tiny-secp256k1";

const bip47 = BIP47Factory(ecc);

Create a PaymetCodePrivate instance from wallet master seed

on mainnet

import type {PaymentCodePrivate} from "@samouraiwallet/bip47";

let walletSeed: Uint8Array;

const alice: PaymentCodePrivate = bip47.fromSeed(walletSeed);

// with segwit support
const alice2: PaymentCodePrivate = bip47.fromSeed(walletSeed, true);

on testnet

import type {PaymentCodePrivate} from "@samouraiwallet/bip47";
import {networks} from "@samouraiwallet/bip47/utils";

const alice: PaymentCodePrivate = bip47.fromSeed(walletSeed, false, networks['testnet']);
// with segwit support
const alice2: PaymentCodePrivate = bip47.fromSeed(walletSeed, true, networks['testnet']);

Create a PaymetCodePublic instance from payment code string

on mainnet

// pass in a desired network object (bitcoin | testnet | regtest) from utils or directly from bitcoinjs-lib
const bob: PaymentCodePublic = bip47.fromBase58(pcode, networks['testnet']);

Generate a base58 encoded payment code

const alicePcode: string = alice.toBase58(); // PM8TJTLJbPRGxSbc8EJi42Wrr6QbNSaSSVJ5Y3E4pbCYiTHUskHg13935Ubb7q8tx9GVbh2UuRnBc3WSyJHhUrw8KhprKnn9eDznYGieTzFcwQRya4GA

Get notification address

const aliceNotificationAddress: string = alice.getNotificationAddress(); // 1JDdmqFLhpzcUwPeinhJbUPw4Co3aWLyzW

Get notification address public key

const aliceNotifPubKey: Uint8Array = alice.getNotificationPublicKey(); // 0353883a146a23f988e0f381a9507cbdb3e3130cd81b3ce26daf2af088724ce683 

Get notification address private key

const aliceNotifPrivKey: Uint8Array = alice.getNotificationPrivateKey(); // 8d6a8ecd8ee5e0042ad0cb56e3a971c760b5145c3917a8e7beaf0ed92d7a520c 

Derive addresses from Alice to Bob

Alice's side

// Bob's P2PKH address at index 0
const bobAddress: string = bob.getPaymentAddress(alice, 0, 'p2pkh'); // 141fi7TY3h936vRUKh1qfUZr8rSBuYbVBK

// check if Bob's payment code supports receiving to segwit addresses
if (bob.segwit) {
    // Bob's P2WPKH address at index 1
    const bobSegwitAddress = bob.getPaymentAddress(alice, 1, 'p2wpkh'); // bc1qzn8a8drxv6ln7rztjsw660gzf3hnrfwupzmsfh
}

Bob's side

import type {PaymentCodePrivate, PaymentCodePublic} from "@samouraiwallet/bip47";

let bobSeed: Uint8Array;
let alicePcode: string; // base58 encoded payment code

const bob: PaymentCodePrivate = bip47.fromSeed(bobSeed);
const alice: PaymentCodePublic = bip47.fromBase58(alicePcode);

const bobAddress: string = bob.getPaymentAddress(alice, 0, 'p2pkh'); // 141fi7TY3h936vRUKh1qfUZr8rSBuYbVBK

Derive payment keys from Alice to Bob

Alice's side

// Bob's payment pubkey at index 0
const bobPubKey: Uint8Array = bob.derivePaymentPublicKey(alice, 0); // 0344b4795e48df097bd87e6cf87a70e4f0c30b2d847b6e34cddde64af10296952d

Bob's side

import type {PaymentCodePrivate, PaymentCodePublic} from "@samouraiwallet/bip47";

let bobSeed: Uint8Array;
let alicePcode: string; // base58 encoded payment code

const bob: PaymentCodePrivate = bip47.fromSeed(bobSeed);
const alice: PaymentCodePublic = bip47.fromBase58(alicePcode);

// Bob's payment keys at index 0
const bobPubKey: Uint8Array = bob.derivePaymentPublicKey(alice, 0);
const bobPrivKey: Uint8Array = bob.derivePaymentPrivateKey(alice, 0);

Extract payment code from notification transaction

import type {PaymentCodePrivate, PaymentCodePublic} from "@samouraiwallet/bip47";

let bobSeed: Uint8Array;
const bob: PaymentCodePrivate = bip47.fromSeed(bob.seed);

let scriptPubKey: Uint8Array; // scriptPubKey of notification transaction OP_RETURN output
let outpoint: Uint8Array; // outpoint of first input of notification transaction
let pubKey: Uint8Array; // public key of first input of notification transaction

const alice: PaymentCodePublic = bob.getPaymentCodeFromNotificationTransactionData(scriptPubKey, outpoint, pubKey);
const alicePcode: string = alice.toBase58(); // PM8TJTLJbPRGxSbc8EJi42Wrr6QbNSaSSVJ5Y3E4pbCYiTHUskHg13935Ubb7q8tx9GVbh2UuRnBc3WSyJHhUrw8KhprKnn9eDznYGieTzFcwQRya4GA

In order to extract payment code from a notification transaction, the scriptPubKey, outpoint and pubKey must be provided. You can use bitcoinjs-lib to extract these values from a transaction.

import * as bitcoin from 'bitcoinjs-lib';

let notificationTxHex: string;
    
const tx: bitcoin.Transaction = bitcoin.Transaction.fromHex(notificationTxHex);

const opReturnOutput = tx.outs.find((o) =>
    o.script[0] === 0x6a && o.script[1] === 0x4c && o.script[2] === 0x50
);

if (!opReturnOutput) throw new error("Transaction doesn't contain OP_RETURN output");

const scriptPubKey: Uint8Array = opReturnOutput.script;

const input = tx.ins[0];
const outpoint: Uint8Array = new Uint8Array(input.hash.length + 4);
outpoint.set(input.hash);
outpoint.set(new Uint32Array([input.index]), input.hash.length)

let pubKey: Uint8Array;

if (input.witness.length) {
    pubKey = input.witness[1];
} else if (bitcoin.script.toASM(input.script).split(' ').length === 2) {
    pubKey = Buffer.from(bitcoin.script.toASM(input.script).split(' ')[1], 'hex',);
} else throw new Error('Unknown Transaction type');

Get blinded payment code for notification transaction

let outpoint: Uint8Array; // outpoint of the first input of the notification transaction
let privKey: Uint8Array; // private key of a first input of the notification transaction

const blindedAlicePcode: string = alicePcode.getBlindedPaymentCode(bob, outpoint, privKey);
