HD Wallets

Bonança can create a master key for a Hierarchical Deterministic (HD) wallet, which can generate multiple child keys for different blockchains. This means you can manage multiple wallets for multiple blockchains (e.g., Solana, EVM-compatible chains) using a single KeyVault file. If you are unfamiliar with HD wallets consider reading this post.

Creating a New HD Wallet

HD wallets are stored as KeyVault files in Bonança, which is explained in more depth here. You can create a KeyVault using Rust or Python.

Rust

use bonanca::keyvault::KeyVault;
use std::path::Path;

fn main() {
  // Create new KeyVault with english mneomonic
  let key_vault = KeyVault::new("English");
  let filename = Path::new("./keyvault.json");

  // Write json file
  key_vault.write(filename)
}

Python

from bonanca import KeyVault

# Create new KeyVault with english mneomonic
key_vault = KeyVault.new("English")

# Write json file
key_vault.write("./keyvault.json")

The available languages for the mneomonic are:

• English
• Simplified Chinese
• Traditional Chinese,
• French
• Italian
• Japanese
• Korean
• Spanish

Create a KeyVault from a Mneomonic

You can also create a KeyVault from an existing mneomonic phrase. This is useful if you already have a wallet and want to manage it using Bonança.

Rust

use bonanca::keyvault::KeyVault;

fn main() {
  // Your mneomonic (in any language listed above)
  let mneomonic = "abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about";

  let key_vault = KeyVault::from_mneomonic(mneomonic);
  let filename = Path::new("./keyvault.json");

  // Write json file
  key_vault.write(filename)
}

Python

from bonanca import KeyVault

# Your mneomonic (in any language listed above)
mneomonic = "abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about

key_vault = KeyVault.from_mneomonic(mneomonic)

# Write json file
key_vault.write("./keyvault.json")
