keygen
Go-Tron-Keygen is a simple Go-based project designed to demonstrate the process of generating Tron keys and addresses.
- Generate a random private key (32-byte array).
- Convert a private key to a public key using the Secp256k1 curve.
- Calculate the Keccak-256 hash of the binary format of the public key (Keccak-256 is the hashing algorithm used by Tron to derive addresses).
- Take the first byte of the Keccak-256 hash (should be 41 in hexadecimal).
- Append the rest 20 bytes of the Keccak-256 hash to the first byte (41).
- Convert the 21-byte binary string into a Base58Check encoded string. Base58Check is a variant of Base58 encoding that includes a checksum for verifying the validity of the address.
- The resulting Base58Check encoded string is the Tron address associated with the public key.
