hdwallet 3.0.0

v3.0.0

on Python PyPI

We are pleased to announce the release of python-hdwallet v3.0.0, a comprehensive update introducing new standards, enhanced functionality, and expanded support for diverse blockchain ecosystems.

New Features

• Full support for entropy generation and mnemonic phrase creation for: Algorand, Electrum-V1, Electrum-V2, Monero
• Add new Elliptic Curve Cryptography's (ECCs): Kholaw-Ed25519, SLIP10-Ed25519, SLIP10-Ed25519-Blake2b, SLIP10-Ed25519-Monero, SLIP10-Nist256p1 algorithms.
• Add support for seed generation specific to: Algorand, Cardano, Electrum-V1, Electrum-V2, Monero
• Extended support for Hierarchical Deterministic structures, including: BIP86, Cardano, Electrum-V1, Electrum-V2, Monero
• Support for advanced derivations: BIP86, CIP1852, Electrum, Monero, HDW (Our own derivation method)
• Comprehensive support for generating addresses across a wide range of protocols and formats: Algorand, Aptos, Avalanche, Cardano, Cosmos, EOS, Ergo, Ethereum, Filecoin, Harmony, Icon, Injective, Monero, MultiversX, Nano, Near, Neo, OKT-Chain, P2TR, Ripple, Solana, Stellar, Sui, Tezos, Tron, XinFin, Zilliqa
• BIP38: Secure, password-protected private key handling

New Cryptocurrencies

With the integration of multiple Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) algorithms, we have significantly expanded our support, enabling enhanced compatibility and functionality for a wide range of cryptocurrencies.

Closed: #45 #76 #83

Enhancements

• Derivation Path Ranges For Dumps: The derivation path supports ranges defined directly in the string format. For example:
  • A path like m/0-2 will be automatically unrolled into:

    m/0
    m/1
    m/2
    

  • Tuple-Based Ranges: Tuples can be passed directly to the derivation function for dynamic and programmatic control. For instance:

    BIP44Derivation(address=(0, 2))

    This will generate the derivation paths for accounts m/44'/0'/0'/0/0 through m/44'/0'/0'/0/2 inclusively.

    m/44'/0'/0'/0/0
    m/44'/0'/0'/0/1
    m/44'/0'/0'/0/2
    

• Support Uncompressed addresses for SLIP10-Secp256k1 ECC #58 #50
• Add BIP86 Hierarchical Deterministic and P2RT Address for Bitcoin, Qtum #27 #84
• Add BIP84 Hierarchical Deterministic for Litecoin #78
• Modify BIP32 name into Custom derivation.

This release marks a significant milestone in delivering a robust, versatile tool for developers and blockchain enthusiasts. For more https://hdwallet.readthedocs.io
