Go Ethereum Hdwallet

Go Ethereum Hdwallet is an MIT-licensed Go library and CLI for deriving Ethereum accounts from mnemonic seeds along specified derivation paths. The library implements go-ethereum’s `accounts.Wallet` interface and supports transaction signing; the CLI derives and displays an address from mnemonic and path inputs.

Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use the library when Ethereum derivation or signing belongs inside a Go application, or the CLI when deriving an address directly from mnemonic and path inputs.

Who it is for

  • Go developers building software that needs Ethereum account derivation from mnemonic seeds.
  • Developers integrating a wallet implementation with go-ethereum’s `accounts.Wallet` interface.
  • Users who need a command-line tool to derive and display an address from a mnemonic and path.

Documented uses

  • Derive one or more Ethereum addresses using chosen derivation paths.
  • Use a Go wallet implementation through go-ethereum’s wallet interface.
  • Sign a transaction with a derived wallet account.
  • Display an address from mnemonic and path inputs in the CLI.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The public GitHub repository identifies the project as MIT-licensed and documents Go package and CLI installation.

  • The library is written in Go and implements go-ethereum’s accounts.Wallet interface.
  • The CLI example prints both the public address and private key.
  • The README includes separate examples for address derivation and transaction signing.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Install the CLI and derive an address

Install the documented command-line tool and request an Ethereum address using a mnemonic and derivation path.

Before you start

  • Go tooling
  • A mnemonic seed
  • A derivation path

Steps

  1. Install the CLI with the command below.

    Documented command
    go install github.com/miguelmota/go-ethereum-hdwallet/cmd/geth-hdwallet@latest

  2. Run geth-hdwallet with -mnemonic and -path arguments, using the desired mnemonic and derivation path.

Expected outcome

The CLI displays a public address and private key for the supplied mnemonic and path.

Guide limitations

  • The documented output includes a private key.
  • The example covers derivation and display, not sending a transaction.

Derive accounts in a Go program

Use the Go package to create a wallet from a mnemonic and derive addresses along specified paths.

Before you start

  • A Go application
  • The github.com/miguelmota/go-ethereum-hdwallet package
  • A mnemonic seed and derivation path

Steps

  1. Install the package with the command below.

    Documented command
    go get -u github.com/miguelmota/go-ethereum-hdwallet

  2. Create a wallet with hdwallet.NewFromMnemonic and handle the returned error.

  3. Parse a derivation path with hdwallet.MustParseDerivationPath and call wallet.Derive.

  4. Read the derived address from account.Address.Hex().

Expected outcome

The program can obtain and print an Ethereum address for the selected derivation path; the README example repeats derivation with a second path.

Guide limitations

  • The example derives accounts and prints addresses; transaction signing is shown separately in the README.
