Calculate address and private key

In order to gain control the token from your Liquid node you need to import the address, the private key and the blinding key. You can obtain all this codes using the provided script available in this repository; you can install this software using the following procedure.

Clone this repository in a directory.

git clone https://github.com/Blockstream/liquid-melt.git
cd liquid-melt

Create a Python virtual environment and install dependencies.

virtualenv -p python3 venv3
. venv3/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then call the import.py script passing the mini private key as the first argument.

python import.py S4EkYCKTuhxv6vzVbWHThW874QubqG

The script will print the commands you need to write in the console.

The first line shows you the unconfidential address derived from your Mini Private Key, the second shows the private key and the third shows the confidential address and the corresponding blinding key.

Download latest release of Liquid or Liquid-qt from the official repository.

If you use liquid-cli from the command line just copy the previous lines in your shell.

If you use the liquid-qt app, navigate on the console in this way:

  • click on Debug Window,
  • select the Console tab.
