Package Details

coin-base

Base package providing universal interfaces:

import { getRandomPrivateKey } from '@okx/coin-base';

Supported functions:

FunctionDescription
getRandomPrivateKey()Generates cryptographically secure private key
getDerivedPrivateKey()Derives private key from parameters
signTransaction()Signs raw transactions
verifyMessage()Validates signed messages

crypto-lib

Essential cryptography utilities:

import { bip39 } from '@okx/crypto-lib';
const mnemonic = bip39.generateMnemonic();

Features:
