How did you start your journey to Ethereum? Install the Metamask plugin, create mnemonics, copy it on a piece of paper and click the confirm button! Now, you have your Ethereum address, you can copy your address and send him to someone else who can use it to receive ether.
But do you have questions like below:
Congratulations you have come to the right place, this article will take you step by step through the process of converting a mnemonic into an address using the Rust language. Understanding the process between a mnemonic to an address will not only deepen your understanding of the blockchain system and cryptographic principles, but will also improve employability, fulfill related development needs, and increase efficiency. Therefore, this knowledge is vital and indispensable for those who wish to gain a deeper understanding and engage in blockchain technology development.
Rust is a general-purpose, compiled programming language developed by Mozilla, which is increasingly popular among developers for its reliability and efficiency. As a result, I believe that more and more projects in the Ethernet ecosystem will be refactored and upgraded with Rust in the future. Many well-known projects based on Rust have also emerged in the ethereum ecosystem, such as:
Foundry — a blazing fast, portable and modular toolkit for Ethereum application development.
Reth — Modular, contributor-friendly and blazing-fast implementation of the Ethereum protocol.
Let’s get acquainted with Rust in Ethereum soon!
It doesn’t matter! This article also provide a detailed explanation and no code examples to help you understand the whole process.
Mnemonic is a list of words, which is easy to remember and write. And do you think that mnemonic is generated randomly? Hesitate, it is not completely random. Let me explain.
Each word in the mnemonic can be represented by a number from 0 to 2047, total 2048 numbers. Such as “indoor” is 920, “dish” is 505, “abandon” is 0. You can get more information from the BIP39 wordlist. Another interesting thing is we can not only have english mnemonic we can also have the Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional) versions. For example:
English: indoor dish desk flag debris potato excuse depart ticket judge file exit
Korean: 수집 몸속 명의 분야 만족 인격 법원 멀리 터미널 시멘트 부작용 변명
ChineseSimplified: 诗 失 圆 块 亲 幼 杂 却 厉 齐 顶 互
ChineseTraditional: 詩 失 圓 塊 親 幼 雜 卻 厲 齊 頂 互
Callback Question1: There are a limited number of words that can be used as mnemonics, and the last word is a “check sum”, meaning: the last word needs to match the previous all mnemonic.
