README

go-address

The filecoin address type, used for identifying actors on the filecoin network, in various formats.

Install

Install this library with go mod

Usage

Addresses support various types of encoding formats and have constructors for each format

// address from ID
idAddress := NewIDAddress(id)
// address from a secp pub key
secp256k1Address := NewSecp256k1Address(pubkey)
// address from data for actor protocol
actorAddress := NewActorAddress(data) 
// address from the BLS pubkey
blsAddress := NewBLSAddress(pubkey)

Serialization

var outBuf io.writer
err := address.MarshalCBOR(outbuf)
var inBuf io.reader
err := address.UnmarshalCBOR(inbuf)

BlsPrivateKeyBytes is the length of a BLS private key

const BlsPublicKeyBytes = 48

BlsPublicKeyBytes is the length of a BLS public key

const ChecksumHashLength = 4

ChecksumHashLength defines the hash length used for calculating address checksums.

const MainnetPrefix = "f"

MainnetPrefix is the main network prefix.

const MaxAddressStringLength = 2 + 84

MaxAddressStringLength is the max length of an address encoded as a string it include the network prefx, protocol, and bls publickey

const PayloadHashLength = 20

PayloadHashLength defines the hash length taken over addresses using the Actor and SECP256K1 protocols.

const TestnetPrefix = "t"

TestnetPrefix is the test network prefix.

Variables

var (
	// ErrUnknownNetwork is returned when encountering an unknown network in an address.
	ErrUnknownNetwork = errors.New("unknown address network")

	// ErrUnknownProtocol is returned when encountering an unknown protocol in an address.
	ErrUnknownProtocol = errors.New("unknown address protocol")
	// ErrInvalidPayload is returned when encountering an invalid address payload.
	ErrInvalidPayload = errors.New("invalid address payload")
	// ErrInvalidLength is returned when encountering an address of invalid length.
	ErrInvalidLength = errors.New("invalid address length")
	// ErrInvalidChecksum is returned when encountering an invalid address checksum.
	ErrInvalidChecksum = errors.New("invalid address checksum")
)

var AddressEncoding = base32.NewEncoding(encodeStd)

AddressEncoding defines the base32 config used for address encoding and decoding.

var CurrentNetwork = Testnet

CurrentNetwork specifies which network the address belongs to

var Undef = Address{}

Undef is the type that represents an undefined address.

var UndefAddressString = "<empty>"

UndefAddressString is the string used to represent an empty address when encoded to a string.

Functions

func Checksum

func Checksum(ingest []byte) []byte

Checksum returns the checksum of `ingest`.

func IDFromAddress

func IDFromAddress(addr Address) (uint64, error)

func NewForTestGetter

func NewForTestGetter() func() Address

NewForTestGetter returns a closure that returns an address unique to that invocation. The address is unique wrt the closure returned, not globally.

func ValidateChecksum

func ValidateChecksum(ingest, expect []byte) bool

ValidateChecksum returns true if the checksum of `ingest` is equal to `expected`>

Types

type Address

type Address struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Address is the go type that represents an address in the filecoin network.

var (
	// TestAddress is an account with some initial funds in it.
	TestAddress Address
	// TestAddress2 is an account with some initial funds in it.
	TestAddress2 Address
)

func NewActorAddress

func NewActorAddress(data []byte) (Address, error)

NewActorAddress returns an address using the Actor protocol.

func NewBLSAddress

func NewBLSAddress(pubkey []byte) (Address, error)

func NewFromBytes

func NewFromBytes(addr []byte) (Address, error)
