Icon LinkCreating a wallet from a private key

A new wallet with a randomly generated private key can be created by supplying Wallet.generate.

// #import { Wallet, WalletLocked, WalletUnlocked };
 
// use the `generate` helper to make an Unlocked Wallet
const myWallet: WalletUnlocked = Wallet.generate({
	provider,
});
 
// or use an Address to create a wallet
const someWallet: WalletLocked = Wallet.fromAddress(myWallet.address, provider);

Alternatively, you can create a wallet from a Private Key:

// unlock an existing wallet
let unlockedWallet: WalletUnlocked = lockedWallet.unlock(PRIVATE_KEY);
// or directly from a private key
unlockedWallet = Wallet.fromPrivateKey(PRIVATE_KEY, provider);

You can obtain an address to a private key using the Signer package

const signer = new Signer(PRIVATE_KEY);
// validate address
expect(wallet.address).toEqual(signer.address);
