Generate a wallet
Create a new wallet with mnemonic phrase or restore from existing seed
import { generateWallet, generateSecretKey } from '@stacks/wallet-sdk';// Generate a new wallet with a new 24-word seed phraseconst secretKey = generateSecretKey(256); // 256 bits = 24 wordsconst wallet = await generateWallet({secretKey,password: 'your-secure-password',});// Access the first accountconst account = wallet.accounts[0];console.log('Address:', account.stxAddress);console.log('Mnemonic:', secretKey);
Use cases
- Creating new wallets for users
- Restoring wallets from seed phrases
- Generating deterministic wallet addresses
- Building wallet applications
Key concepts
The wallet SDK generates hierarchical deterministic (HD) wallets following BIP32/BIP39 standards:
- 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
