This project is a Node.js application that uses BIP85 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 85) to derive a child mnemonic from a master mnemonic. BIP85 allows the derivation of entropy from a master seed, which can then be used for various purposes, such as creating child mnemonics in a standardized and recoverable way. This application specifically creates a new mnemonic phrase (12 or 24 words) using the entropy derived from the master mnemonic.
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
- You have installed Node.js (https://nodejs.org/)
- You have a basic understanding of cryptocurrency wallet mnemonic phrases.
To install the dependencies, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository or download the source code from the repository.
- Navigate to the project directory in your terminal.
- Run
npm install
to install the Node.js dependencies.
To use the BIP85 Child Mnemonic Generator, follow these steps:
- Open your terminal.
- Change the directory to where your project is located.
- Run the program using Node.js with the following syntax:
Will output a 24 word mnemonic phrase for BIP85 index 2.
