Derive

Derive an AccountIdentifier from a PublicKey

post

Derive returns the AccountIdentifier associated with a public key. Blockchains that require an on-chain action to create an account should not implement this method.

Body

ConstructionDeriveRequest is passed to the /construction/derive endpoint. Network is provided in the request because some blockchains have different address formats for different networks. Metadata is provided in the request because some blockchains allow for multiple address types (i.e. different address for validators vs normal accounts).

network_identifierobjectRequired

The network_identifier specifies which network a particular object is associated with.

public_keyobjectRequired

PublicKey contains a public key byte array for a particular CurveType encoded in hex. Note that there is no PrivateKey struct as this is NEVER the concern of an implementation.
