Commandline utility to traverse HD Keys from HD Wallet Seed and Extended (xprv,
xpub) Key Paths.
(compatible with the [Hierarchical Deterministic Keys (BIP-44)][bip-44] and [BIP-32][bip-32]
specs)
A fully-functional, production-ready reference implementation of Dash HD - suitable for learning DASH specs and protocols, and porting to other languages.

npm install --location=global dashhd-cli@1
dashhd ./seed.hex "0'/0"Or, use without installing:
npx -p dashhd-cli dashhd ./seed.hex "0'/0"Note: Convert Recovery Phrases to Seeds with
dashphrase.
Also, all example values below are derived from the Zoomonic Seed:

You can use either the full HD Path (required for coins other than DASH), or abbreviate, starting with the HD Account:
m/44'/5'/0'/0 - absolute Extended Key path
0'/0 - relavite Extended Key path (DASH only)
m/44'/5'/0'/0/0 - absolute Address Key path
0'/0/0 - relative Address Key path (DASH only)
From Dash HD: HD Path:
The path that defines an HD Key - typically of the BIP-44 variety:
- a Root (master), ex:
m(depth 0, the Wallet Key, straight from the seed)- an Coin Key, ex:
m/44'/5'(depth 2)- an Account, ex:
m/44'/5'/0'(depth 3)- an X Key (XPrv or XPub), ex:
m/44'/5'/0'/0(depth 4, a.k.a. Use)- an Address Key, ex:
m/44'/5'/0'/0/0(depth 5, the end)'is used for "hardened" (parent) key segments,
but not for "public" (shareable) child key segmentsIn general:
m/<purpose>'/<coin-type>'/<account>'/<use>/<index>For DASH:
m/44'/5'/<account>'/<use>/<index>(because we always use BIP-44 and our coin type is 5)

- Derive Extended Keys for Account at index 2:
(the Use index will be
# dashhd ./seed.hex "/<account>'/<use>" dashhd ./seed.hex "/2'/0"
0for most common use cases) - The output will have an XPrv and XPub, like this:

# Absolute HD Path with Relative Range
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/0'/0" "5'/0"
# Same as above, but with relative HD Path
dashhd ./seed.hex "0'/0" "5'/0"- Convert your Recovery Phrase to a Seed with DashPhrase
- Derive Address Keys for Address 3 of Account 2 (0-indexed):
(the Use index will be
# dashhd ./seed.hex "/<account>'/<use>/<index>" dashhd ./seed.hex "/2'/0/3"
0for most common use cases) - The output will have a WIF (longer) and Address, like this:
# WIF (51 characters) HjSuSQ7F2dVqmzB4BLzEaLNrptzzVUBCXjo76us7AWQY954CWe3 # Address (34 characters) XyvDv4Jz3cfXrbTvecymTe2MmXryokCEHi
More examples:
# Absolute HD Path
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/2'/0/3"
# Absolute HD Path with Relative Address Ranges
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/2'/0/3" "2'/0/5"
# Absolute HD Path with Relative Account + Address Ranges
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/0'/0/0" "2'/0/3"
# Same as above, but with relative HD Path
dashhd ./seed.hex "2'/0/3" "2'/0/5"
dashhd ./seed.hex "0'/0/0" "2'/0/3"Extended Keys come in a pair:
- the person receiving payment generates the pair
(they keep the XPrv to themselves) - the person paying accepts the XPub from the other
(each payment will go incrementally to the next unused address)
If Alice wants to pay Bob, and the next unused is at index 3:
# dashhd ./payee.xpub <index>
dashhd ./bob.xpub 3# Address
XyvDv4Jz3cfXrbTvecymTe2MmXryokCEHi
Bob must use the WIF (first, longer) to spend a a payment.
Before doing so he can check teh account with the Address (shorter).
# dashhd ./payer.xprv <index>
dashhd ./alice.xprv 3# WIF
HjSuSQ7F2dVqmzB4BLzEaLNrptzzVUBCXjo76us7AWQY954CWe3
# Address
XyvDv4Jz3cfXrbTvecymTe2MmXryokCEHiYou can specify a range to generate multiple Extended Keys or Address Keys at once.
# Absolute HD Path
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/0'/0" "m/44'/5'/2'/0"
# Absolute HD Path with Relative Range
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/0'/0" "2'/0"
# Same as above, but with relative HD Path
dashhd ./seed.hex "0'/0" "2'/0"The output will include the HD Path for easy identification:

These are for testing and debugging HD Key libraries and HD wallets.
Libraries should support Recovery Phrase "secret"s - also known as salt or (misnomer) password.
However, in practice, most wallets don't ask the user and simply put an empty string as the secret.
Also, in practice, the XPrv and XPub Use is always designated as Receiving (External), not Change (internal).
For completeness, we offer fixtures for all of those features below.
Recovery Phrase:

Secret (Salt):

XPrvs, XPubs, WIFs, and Addresses:
See ./examples/ and ./FIXTURES.md.
