Generates a new Ed25519 keypair. Supply a hex-encoded seed for deterministic generation (useful for testing or key recovery) or omit it for a random keypair.
The private key is returned in plaintext over the gRPC connection. Use TLS in production. Never log or store the private key in an insecure location.

​
Request

​
seed
Hex-encoded string (optional)
Optional. 32-byte hex-encoded seed for deterministic keypair generation. If omitted, a cryptographically random keypair is generated.

​
Response

​
key_pair
KeyPair (object)
The generated keypair. See KeyPair for field definitions.

​
Code Examples

// Random keypair
resp, err := client.GenerateNewKeyPair(ctx, &account_v1.GenerateNewKeyPairRequest{})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("Public key: %s\n", resp.KeyPair.PublicKey)

// Deterministic keypair from seed
respDet, err := client.GenerateNewKeyPair(ctx, &account_v1.GenerateNewKeyPairRequest{
    Seed: "a1b2c3d4e5f6...", // 32-byte hex seed
})
