dashhd-cli

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.

Overview: Seeds => XKeys => Keys

dashhd <./seed-or-key> [start-hdpath-or-index] [end]

Seed => Extended Key

dashhd ./seed.hex   "m/44'/5'/0'/0"

Install

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"

Usage

Note: Convert Recovery Phrases to Seeds with dashphrase.

Also, all example values below are derived from the Zoomonic Seed:

./seed.hex:

How HD Paths Work

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 segments

In 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)

Wallet Seed to Extended Keys

  1. Convert your Recovery Phrase to a Seed with DashPhrase
  2. Derive Extended Keys for Account at index 2:
    # dashhd ./seed.hex       "/<account>'/<use>"
    dashhd ./seed.hex         "/2'/0"
    (the Use index will be 0 for most common use cases)
  3. The output will have an XPrv and XPub, like this:
    # starts with "xprv" (111 characters)
    xprvA1t6Pgks9siC1M6QTqstaDpK7GqJfiDZq4tpD6eKVyVf4iAb3LViw6jk1mp2XUawhpoYCCwrQphPpS9V36VhDLxP6QK5FGx5wR6iF8xMYHc
    # starts with "xpub" (111 characters)

More examples:

# Absolute HD Path
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/2'/0"

# 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"

Wallet Seed to Address Keys

  1. Convert your Recovery Phrase to a Seed with DashPhrase
  2. Derive Address Keys for Address 3 of Account 2 (0-indexed):
    # dashhd ./seed.hex       "/<account>'/<use>/<index>"
    dashhd ./seed.hex         "/2'/0/3"
    (the Use index will be 0 for most common use cases)
  3. 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 to Address Keys

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)

Pay a Contact

If Alice wants to pay Bob, and the next unused is at index 3:

# dashhd ./payee.xpub <index>
dashhd   ./bob.xpub   3
# Address
XyvDv4Jz3cfXrbTvecymTe2MmXryokCEHi

Check & Spend a Payment

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
XyvDv4Jz3cfXrbTvecymTe2MmXryokCEHi

Working with Ranges

You can specify a range to generate multiple Extended Keys or Address Keys at once.

Extended Key Ranges

# 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:

m/44'/5'/2'/0:
xprvA1t6Pgks9siC1M6QTqstaDpK7GqJfiDZq4tpD6eKVyVf4iAb3LViw6jk1mp2XUawhpoYCCwrQphPpS9V36VhDLxP6QK5FGx5wR6iF8xMYHc

Address Key Ranges

# Absolute HD Path
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/2'/0/0" "m/44'/5'/2'/0/5"

# Absolute HD Path with Relative Address Ranges
dashhd ./seed.hex "m/44'/5'/2'/0/2"          "2'/0/5"

# Absolute HD Path with Relative Account + Address Ranges
dashhd ./seed.hex          "0'/0/0"          "2'/0/2"

# Same as above, but with relative HD Path
dashhd ./seed.hex          "2'/0/2"          "2'/0/5"
dashhd ./seed.hex          "0'/0/0"          "2'/0/2"

The output will include the HD Path for easy identification:

Fixtures

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.

Catmonic (empty secret)

Recovery Phrase:

cat swing flag economy stadium alone churn speed unique patch report train

Secret (Salt):

(empty string)

XPrvs, XPubs, WIFs, and Addresses:

See ./examples/ and ./FIXTURES.md.

Zoomonic (with secret salt)

Recovery Phrase:

Secret (Salt):
