Account

Creating an Account

Before you can start building and transacting, you’ll need to create an account.

InitiaJS

import { MnemonicKey } from '@initia/initia.js'

const key = new MnemonicKey()

The mnemonic key is the only way to recover your account if you forget your password.

Importing an Account

You can also import an account by providing a mnemonic phrase or a raw key.

InitiaJS

import { MnemonicKey } from '@initia/initia.js'

const keyByMnemonic = new MnemonicKey({
  mnemonic: 'bird upset ... evil cigar',
})
const keyByRawKey = new RawKey(keyByMnemonic.privateKey)

console.log('keyByMnemonic:', keyByMnemonic.privateKey)
console.log('keyByRawKey:', keyByRawKey.privateKey)

Output:

keyByMnemonic: <Buffer e5 71 db 8c 0c 44 d4 81 e1 ef 62 81 ec ab 5a 26 b4 35 db fb 6b ec b6 51 43 8e d8 c9 ef e0 40 c1>
keyByRawKey: <Buffer e5 71 db 8c 0c 44 d4 81 e1 ef 62 81 ec ab 5a 26 b4 35 db fb 6b ec b6 51 43 8e d8 c9 ef e0 40 c1>

If you want to create an EVM account, you can use the following code:

InitiaJS

const cosmosKeyByMnemonic = new MnemonicKey({
  mnemonic: 'bird upset ... evil cigar',
})
const evmKeyByMnemonic = new MnemonicKey({
  mnemonic: 'bird upset ... evil cigar',
  coinType: 60,
  eth: true,
})

console.log('cosmosKeyByMnemonic:', cosmosKeyByMnemonic.accAddress)
console.log('evmKeyByMnemonic:', evmKeyByMnemonic.accAddress)

Output:

cosmosKeyByMnemonic: init1d7s3q7nmlzqz9v4tk6ntrvfmavu2vk656gr29j
evmKeyByMnemonic: init1f7t8tqnltm2n0ghs3g9uyplkj3rf2mh9tcf4r9

Retrieving Account Data

You can retrieve account data from the key object.

InitiaJS

import { MnemonicKey } from '@initia/initia.js'

const key = new MnemonicKey({
  mnemonic:
    'across debate retreat border auction drum inflict demise jaguar fine dizzy absorb general include brush wet exclude host reward post angle shield mouse model',
})

console.log('mnemonic:', key.mnemonic)
console.log('private key:', key.privateKey)
console.log('public key:', key.publicKey)
console.log('account address:', key.accAddress)
console.log('account validator address:', key.valAddress)

Output:

mnemonic: across debate retreat border auction drum inflict demise jaguar fine dizzy absorb general include brush wet exclude host reward post angle shield mouse model
private key: <Buffer e5 71 db 8c 0c 44 d4 81 e1 ef 62 81 ec ab 5a 26 b4 35 db fb 6b ec b6 51 43 8e d8 c9 ef e0 40 c1>
public key: Z { key: 'AmXrEF5FHNkRMehfDmBM3AwqZ4Y21r2H+hUMjS6++CSP' }
account address: init17mq4sqemx2djc59tda76y20nwp4pfn4943x9ze
account validator address: initvaloper17mq4sqemx2djc59tda76y20nwp4pfn49p5luvf
