Overview
This module provides mnemonic (backup phrase) creation, and conversion of a mnemonic to seed for wallet restoration, and address derivation functionalities.
Documentation
API documentation is available here.
Command-Line
cardano-address comes with a command-line interface for Linux. See the release artifacts or continuous integration artifacts to get a pre-compiled binary, or build a Docker image. The command-line is self explanatory by using --help on various commands and sub-commands.
:bulb: Most commands read argument from the standard input. This prevent sensitive information from appearing into your shell history and, makes it easy to pipe commands!

Please note that purpose `1854H` is used for multisig. ```console $ cardano-address key child 1854H/1815H/0H/0/0 < root_shared.xsk | cardano-address key public --without-chain-code > addr_shared.vk addr_shared_vk1a9h46rvjnqquxz02zyesh0ct29szh7vv9x7r2h87ttmnkgrfgguqhz0mtc ``` Generating delegation verification key is the similar (the only difference is role=2) ```console $ cardano-address key child 1854H/1815H/0H/2/0 < root_shared.xsk | cardano-address key public --without-chain-code > stake_shared.vk stake_shared_vk18a8z5dcrlwene88n84j6dm9yvj5rt296fjtresqnunmacetdcymquyq43z ``` > :information_source: The last segment in the path is the key index, which can be incremented to derive more keys.

We consider `addr_shared.1.vk` and `addr_shared.2.vk` obtained like `addr_shared.vk` but by replacing the final index by `1` and `2` respectively. ```console $ cardano-address key child 1854H/1815H/0H/0/1 < root_shared.xsk | cardano-address key public --without-chain-code > addr_shared.1.vk addr_shared_vk1wgj79fxw2vmxkp85g88nhwlflkxevd77t6wy0nsktn2f663wdcmqcd4fp3 $ cardano-address key child 1854H/1815H/0H/0/2 < root_shared.xsk | cardano-address key public --without-chain-code > addr_shared.2.vk addr_shared_vk1jthguyss2vffmszq63xsmxlpc9elxnvdyaqk7susl4sppp2s9xqsuszh44 $ cardano-address script hash "all [$(cat addr_shared.1.vk), $(cat addr_shared.2.vk)]" > script.hash script1gr69m385thgvkrtspk73zmkwk537wxyxuevs2u9cukglvtlkz4k ``` This script requires the signature from both signing keys corresponding to `shared_addr.1.vk` and `shared_addr.2.vk` (i.e., shared_addr.1.sk and shared_addr.2.sk) in order to be valid. Similarly, we could require only one of the two signatures: We can also use extended verification, eiher payment or delegation, keys. They can be obtained as the non-extended ones by using `--with-chain-code` option rather than `--without-chain-option` as above. They will give rise to the same script hash as for verification keys chain code is stripped upon calculation. ```console $ cardano-address key child 1854H/1815H/0H/0/1 < root_shared.xsk | cardano-address key public --with-chain-code > addr_shared.1.xvk addr_shared_xvk1wgj79fxw2vmxkp85g88nhwlflkxevd77t6wy0nsktn2f663wdcmqhlfft3dn0qcn6q99dvlfl2ws5duy6w65zks5jgufe60fg839sysavl5pc $ cardano-address key child 1854H/1815H/0H/0/2 < root_shared.xsk | cardano-address key public --with-chain-code > addr_shared.2.xvk addr_shared_xvk1jthguyss2vffmszq63xsmxlpc9elxnvdyaqk7susl4sppp2s9xq3zegcxtslhpghmadrlvsphssfjqp3mxg9gca27e35wpu43lqjqnsmjvxuw $ cardano-address script hash "all [$(cat addr_shared.1.xvk), $(cat addr_shared.2.xvk)]" script1gr69m385thgvkrtspk73zmkwk537wxyxuevs2u9cukglvtlkz4k ``` which is equivalent (functionally, but not in terms of hash value) to : ```console $ cardano-address script hash "at_least 1 [$(cat addr_shared.1.xvk), $(cat addr_shared.2.xvk)]" script13uf3fz3ts5srpjc5zcfe977uvnyvp36wcvxuudryegz0zpjlx6a ```How to construct a multisig script hash with timelocks

There is an experimental NPM module for JavaScript and TypeScript available, which works in both NodeJS and the browser.
Here is a code sample showing how it can be used:
var cardanoAddresses = require('cardano-addresses')
var addr = 'addr1gqtnpvdhqrtpd4g424fcaq7k0ufuzyadt7djygf8qdyzevuph3wczvf2dwyx5u'
cardanoAddresses.inspectAddress(addr)
