This package allows generating mnemonics, seeds, private/public keys and addresses for different types of cryptocurrencies. In particular:
Other implemented functionalities:
Package dependencies:
Please note that, for the py-sr25519-bindings library, Rust is required to be installed.
Supported BIP coins:
Supported Substrate coins:
For what regards Monero, it's also possible to generate the same addresses of the official wallets without using BIP44 derivation.
Clearly, for those coins that support Smart Contracts (e.g. Ethereum, Tron, ...), the generated keys and addresses are valid for all the related tokens.
For the secp256k1 curve, it's possible to use either the coincurve or the ecdsa library. coincurve is much faster since it's a Python wrapper to the secp256k1 C library, while ecdsa is a pure Python implementation.
By default coincurve will be used, but it's possible to disable it when installing.
To install the package:
Default installation (coincurve will be used for secp256k1)
Using pip, from this directory (local):
pip install .
Using pip, from PyPI:
pip install bip_utils
Alternative installation (ecdsa will be used for secp256k1)
Using setuptools:
python setup.py install --coincurve=0
Using pip, from this directory (local):
pip install . --install-option="--coincurve=0"
Using pip, from PyPI:
pip install bip_utils --install-option="--coincurve=0"
NOTES:
Install develop dependencies:
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

You know, I'm italian and I love drinking coffee (especially while coding 😃). So, if you'd like to buy me one:
