Choose a wallet

Wallet selection

There are multiple methods to select a wallet in Lucid.

Select wallet from private key

import { Crypto } from "https://deno.land/x/lucid/mod.ts";

const privateKey = Crypto.generatePrivateKey(); // Bech32 encoded private key
lucid.selectWalletFromPrivateKey(privateKey);

Select wallet from seed phrase

import { Crypto } from "https://deno.land/x/lucid/mod.ts";

const seed = Crypto.generateSeed();
lucid.selectWalletFromSeed(seed);

Select wallet from browser

The wallet type works obviously only in the browser. This method works for any CIP-0030 compliant wallet.

const api = await window.cardano.nami.enable();
lucid.selectWalletFromApi(api);

Select wallet from custom data

This wallet is only readable and so can only handle query requests. Signing operations do not work because no private key was selected in this method.

lucid.selectReadOnlyWallet({address: "addr_test...", utxos: [...]});

Query wallet

Get address

const address = await lucid.wallet.address(); // Bech32 address

Query UTxOs

const utxos = await lucid.wallet.getUtxos();

Query delegation

const delegation = await lucid.wallet.getDelegation();
