Struct Ed25519Account 

pub struct Ed25519Account { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature ed25519 only.

An Ed25519 account for signing transactions.

This is the most common account type on Aptos.

Example

use aptos_sdk::account::Ed25519Account;

// Generate a new random account
let account = Ed25519Account::generate();
println!("Address: {}", account.address());

Implementations

impl Ed25519Account

pub fn generate() -> Self

Generates a new random Ed25519 account.

pub fn from_private_key(private_key: Ed25519PrivateKey) -> Self

Creates an account from a private key.

pub fn from_private_key_bytes(bytes: &[u8]) -> AptosResult<Self>

Creates an account from private key bytes.

Errors

Returns an error if the bytes are not a valid Ed25519 private key (must be exactly 32 bytes).

pub fn from_private_key_hex(hex_str: &str) -> AptosResult<Self>

Creates an account from a private key hex string.

Errors

This function will return an error if:

• The hex string is invalid or cannot be decoded
• The decoded bytes are not a valid Ed25519 private key

pub fn from_mnemonic(mnemonic: &str, index: u32) -> AptosResult<Self>

Available on crate feature mnemonic only.

Creates an account from a BIP-39 mnemonic phrase.

Uses the standard Aptos derivation path: m/44'/637'/0'/0'/index'

Arguments

• mnemonic - A BIP-39 mnemonic phrase (12, 15, 18, 21, or 24 words)
• index - The account index in the derivation path

Example

use aptos_sdk::account::Ed25519Account;

let mnemonic = "abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about";
let account = Ed25519Account::from_mnemonic(mnemonic, 0).unwrap();

Errors

Returns an error if the mnemonic phrase is invalid or if key derivation fails.

pub fn generate_with_mnemonic() -> AptosResult<(Self, String)>

Available on crate feature mnemonic only.

Generates a new account with a random mnemonic.

Returns both the account and the mnemonic phrase (for backup).

Errors

Returns an error if mnemonic generation or key derivation fails.

pub fn address(&self) -> AccountAddress

Returns the account address.

pub fn public_key(&self) -> &Ed25519PublicKey

Returns the public key.

pub fn private_key(&self) -> &Ed25519PrivateKey

Returns a reference to the private key.

Warning: Handle with care to avoid leaking sensitive key material.

pub fn sign_message(&self, message: &[u8]) -> Ed25519Signature

Signs a message and returns the Ed25519 signature.
