rustywallet-address

Comprehensive cryptocurrency address generation and validation library for Bitcoin and Ethereum networks.

Features

• Bitcoin Legacy (P2PKH) - Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash addresses (1... mainnet, m/n testnet)
• Bitcoin SegWit (P2WPKH) - Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash addresses (bc1q... mainnet, tb1q... testnet)
• Bitcoin Taproot (P2TR) - Pay-to-Taproot addresses (bc1p... mainnet, tb1p... testnet)
• Ethereum - Ethereum addresses with EIP-55 checksum validation (0x...)
• Multi-network support - Bitcoin mainnet, testnet, regtest, signet
• Address validation - Comprehensive validation with detailed error reporting
• Type-safe API - Rust's type system prevents address format errors
• Zero-copy parsing - Efficient address parsing and validation
• Serde support - Serialization and deserialization support

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rustywallet-address = "0.1"
rustywallet-keys = "0.1"

Quick Start

use rustywallet_keys::prelude::PrivateKey;
use rustywallet_address::prelude::*;

// Generate a random private key
let private_key = PrivateKey::random();
let public_key = private_key.public_key();

// Bitcoin Legacy (P2PKH)
let p2pkh = P2PKHAddress::from_public_key(&public_key, Network::BitcoinMainnet)?;
println!("P2PKH: {}", p2pkh); // 1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2

// Bitcoin SegWit (P2WPKH)
let p2wpkh = P2WPKHAddress::from_public_key(&public_key, Network::BitcoinMainnet)?;
println!("P2WPKH: {}", p2wpkh); // bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4

// Bitcoin Taproot (P2TR)
let p2tr = P2TRAddress::from_public_key(&public_key, Network::BitcoinMainnet)?;
println!("P2TR: {}", p2tr); // bc1p5d7rjq7g6rdk2yhzks9smlaqtedr4dekq08ge8ztwac72sfr9rusxg3297

// Ethereum
let eth = EthereumAddress::from_public_key(&public_key)?;
println!("Ethereum: {}", eth); // 0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed

Address Types

P2PKH (Pay-to-Public-Key-Hash)

Legacy Bitcoin addresses using Base58Check encoding:

use rustywallet_address::prelude::*;

// From public key
let address = P2PKHAddress::from_public_key(&public_key, Network::BitcoinMainnet)?;

// From string
let address = P2PKHAddress::from_str("1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2")?;

// Validate
P2PKHAddress::validate("1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2")?;

P2WPKH (Pay-to-Witness-Public-Key-Hash)

SegWit v0 addresses using Bech32 encoding:

use rustywallet_address::prelude::*;

// From public key
let address = P2WPKHAddress::from_public_key(&public_key, Network::BitcoinMainnet)?;

// From string
let address = P2WPKHAddress::from_str("bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4")?;

// Validate
P2WPKHAddress::validate("bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4")?;

P2TR (Pay-to-Taproot)

Taproot addresses using Bech32m encoding:

use rustywallet_address::prelude::*;

// From public key
let address = P2TRAddress::from_public_key(&public_key, Network::BitcoinMainnet)?;

// From string
let address = P2TRAddress::from_str("bc1p5d7rjq7g6rdk2yhzks9smlaqtedr4dekq08ge8ztwac72sfr9rusxg3297")?;

// Validate
P2TRAddress::validate("bc1p5d7rjq7g6rdk2yhzks9smlaqtedr4dekq08ge8ztwac72sfr9rusxg3297")?;

Ethereum

Ethereum addresses with EIP-55 checksum support:

use rustywallet_address::prelude::*;

// From public key
let address = EthereumAddress::from_public_key(&public_key)?;

// From string
let address = EthereumAddress::from_str("0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed")?;

// Validate with checksum
EthereumAddress::validate_checksum("0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed")?;

// Convert to checksummed format
let checksummed = address.to_checksum();

Validation Examples

use rustywallet_address::prelude::*;

// Generic address validation with auto-detection
let result = Address::validate("bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4");
assert!(result.is_ok());

// Specific type validation
assert!(P2PKHAddress::validate("1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2").is_ok());
assert!(P2WPKHAddress::validate("bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4").is_ok());
assert!(P2TRAddress::validate("bc1p5d7rjq7g6rdk2yhzks9smlaqtedr4dekq08ge8ztwac72sfr9rusxg3297").is_ok());
assert!(EthereumAddress::validate("0x5aAeb6053F3E94C9b9A09f33669435E7Ef1BeAed").is_ok());

// Network-specific validation
let mainnet_addr = "1BvBMSEYstWetqTFn5Au4m4GFg7xJaNVN2";
let testnet_addr = "mipcBbFg9gMiCh81Kj8tqqdgoZub1ZJRfn";

assert!(P2PKHAddress::validate_network(mainnet_addr, Network::BitcoinMainnet).is_ok());
assert!(P2PKHAddress::validate_network(testnet_addr, Network::BitcoinTestnet).is_ok());

// Invalid addresses return detailed errors
match Address::validate("invalid_address") {
    Err(AddressError::InvalidFormat) => println!("Invalid format"),
    Err(AddressError::InvalidChecksum) => println!("Invalid checksum"),
    Err(AddressError::UnsupportedNetwork) => println!("Unsupported network"),
    _ => {}
}
