Creating a wallet from a private key
A new wallet with a randomly generated private key can be created by supplying Wallet.generate
.
ts
See code in contextimport type { WalletLocked, WalletUnlocked } from 'fuels';
import { Wallet } from 'fuels';
// We can use the `generate` to create a new unlocked wallet.
const myWallet: WalletUnlocked = Wallet.generate({ provider });
// or use an Address to create a wallet
const someWallet: WalletLocked = Wallet.fromAddress(myWallet.address, provider);
Alternatively, you can create a wallet from a Private Key:
ts
See code in contextimport type { WalletLocked, WalletUnlocked } from 'fuels';
import { Provider, Wallet } from 'fuels';
import { LOCAL_NETWORK_URL, WALLET_ADDRESS, WALLET_PVT_KEY } from '../../env';
const provider = await Provider.create(LOCAL_NETWORK_URL);
// Generate a locked wallet
const lockedWallet: WalletLocked = Wallet.fromAddress(WALLET_ADDRESS, provider);
// Unlock an existing unlocked wallet
let unlockedWallet: WalletUnlocked = lockedWallet.unlock(WALLET_PVT_KEY);
// Or directly from a private key
unlockedWallet = Wallet.fromPrivateKey(WALLET_PVT_KEY);
You can obtain an address to a private key using the Signer
package
ts
See code in contextimport { Signer } from 'fuels';
import { WALLET_PVT_KEY } from '../../env';
const signer = new Signer(WALLET_PVT_KEY);
