You can generate deterministic keys based on the Bitcoin BIP39. These mnemonic phrases allow you to recover your wallet.

Once you have your mnemonic phrase, you can use it to generate your deterministic keys. See Load AppWallet in the following section on loading a mnemonic phrase. It will typically generate a series of private keys and corresponding public keys, which you can use to manage your cryptocurrencies.

With Mesh, you can initialize a wallet with:

• mnemonic phrases
• Cardano CLI generated keys
• private keys

Lets import a blockchain provider:

Mnemonic phrases

We can load wallet with mnemonic phrases:

With the wallet loaded, you can sign transactions, we will see how to do this in the next section, for now lets get the wallet's address:

Cardano CLI generated skeys

We can load wallet with CLI generated keys by providing the skey generated by Cardano CLI. There are two files generated by Cardano CLI, by default it is named signing.skey and stake.skey. Opening the signing.skey file it should contains:

We can get the cborHex from the signing.skey file, and load wallet with Cardano CLI generated skeys. Stake key is optional, but without it, you cannot sign staking transactions.

Private keys

We can load wallet with private keys:

Get wallet's address. For multi-addresses wallet, it will return the first address. To choose other address, `accountIndex` can be specified.

Get wallet's address. For multi-addresses wallet, it will return the first address. To choose other address, `accountIndex` can be specified.

Get wallet's reward address. For multi-addresses wallet, it will return the first address. To choose other address, `accountIndex` can be specified.

Returns the network ID of the currently connected account. 0 is testnet and 1 is mainnet but other networks can possibly be returned by wallets. Those other network ID values are not governed by CIP-30. This result will stay the same unless the connected account has changed.

Sign a transaction with the App Wallet. Provide the unsigned transaction and the account and key index to sign the transaction. This function will return the signed transaction.

Sign data allows you to sign a payload to identify the wallet ownership.
