const ecpairPriv = cosmos.getECPairPriv(mnemonic);

ecpairPriv has value of private key.

@wannabit-booyoun, Yes, that's correct but the format of that value is unreadable, how can I get PrivateKey from it? Is it possible to get?

Booyoun-Kim commented

Cosmos doesn't support private key formally. It is recommended to use mnemonics rather than private keys.
