default: PublicKey = ...

Default public key value. The base58-encoded string representation is all ones (as seen below) The underlying BN number is 32 bytes that are all zeros

Accessors

Methods

  • Return the base-58 representation of the public key

    Returns string

  • Return the Buffer representation of the public key in big endian

    Returns Buffer

  • Return the byte array representation of the public key in big endian

    Returns Uint8Array

  • Return the base-58 representation of the public key

    Returns string

  • Derive a public key from another key, a seed, and a program ID. The program ID will also serve as the owner of the public key, giving it permission to write data to the account.

    Parameters

    Returns Promise<PublicKey>

  • Find a valid program address

    Valid program addresses must fall off the ed25519 curve. This function iterates a nonce until it finds one that when combined with the seeds results in a valid program address.

    Parameters

    • seeds: (Uint8Array | Buffer)[]
    • programId: PublicKey

    Returns [PublicKey, number]
