# ETH Account

ApeworX uses the package eth_account to create new accounts

Let's look at a few ways to create accounts with this package

Creates a new private key, and returns it as a LocalAccount

from eth_account import Account

acct = Account.create('KEYSMASH FJAFJKLDSKF7JKFDJ 1530')

print("Address:", acct.address)
print("Private key:", acct.privateKey.hex())

You can optionally add extra randomness to whatever randomness your OS can provide

Creates a new private key, and returns it as a LocalAccount, alongside the mnemonic that can be used to regenerate it using any BIP39-compatible wallet.

from eth_account import Account

Account.enable_unaudited_hdwallet_features()

acct, mnemonic = Account.create_with_mnemonic()

print("Address:", acct.address)
print("Private key:", acct.privateKey.hex())
print("Mnemonic:", mnemonic)

One set of mnemonic can be used to create multiple addresses. This method of generating account was introduced in BIP32 & BIP39

This BIP describes the implementation of a mnemonic code or mnemonic sentence — a group of easy to remember words — for the generation of deterministic wallets.

It consists of two parts: generating the mnemonic, and converting it into a binary seed. This seed can be later used to generate deterministic wallets using BIP-0032 or similar methods. Lets understand first part of it.

Returns a convenient object for working with the given private key.

from dotenv import dotenv_values
config = dotenv_values(".env")

user = Account.from_key(config.get('PRIVATE_KEY'))

Generate an account from a mnemonic.

user = Account.from_mnemonic("cheap gauge cradle profit fantasy report album water tobacco very tired smart")
